Messi set to return from illness to face Celtic

After missing Saturday's scoreless draw against Malaga, the Argentine is back in the fold against a side he has already netted a hat-trick against this term

Barcelona have received a boost in their preparations for Wednesday’s Champions League fixture against Celtic as Lionel Messi has resumed training ahead of the fixture.

The Argentine star had surprisingly missed Saturday’s La Liga draw against Malaga, having been vomiting with a stomach bug in the build up to the match.

Without Messi and the suspended Luis Suarez, Barca were unable to make a breakthrough against nine-man Malaga and the score finished 0-0 at Camp Nou.

However, both are back in contention for the trip to Glasgow, with the Argentine resuming training on Monday.

There has not been such good news elsewhere in the squad, with both centre-back Samuel Umtiti and midfielder Andres Iniesta unable to train due to their injury problems.
