Lionel Messi has started training after discomfort in his hamstring on Saturday, Marca reports.

The Argentine was substituted in the 65-minute when the Blaugranas sailed past Granada in a 4-0 win.

The 33-year old left Barcelona concerned about his health hence his second-half substitution as a precautionary measure from risking him in a long term but he has recovered and trained today, January 11, 2021.
