Lionel Messi could make return in Barcelona’s Champions League match with Inter Milan following broken arm
- Messi has missed four Barcelona matches since breaking arm against Sevilla
- But the Argentine forward could return for midweek visit to Inter Milan
- Messi has been named in Barcelona’s squad for Champions League clash
- Ernesto Valverde’s side have won all four of their matches in his absence
Lionel Messi could be in line to return from a broken arm after being named in Barcelona’s squad for Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Inter Milan.
The Barcelona captain has been sidelined with a fractured radial bone in his right arm after falling awkwardly in the 4-2 victory against Sevilla on October 20.
As a result, the Argentina international missed last week’s 5-1 El Clasico victory against Real Madrid, but he may not be risked as he ‘travels without medical all-clear’, according to the club’s official Twitter account.

Barcelona moved four points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings
Ernesto Valverde’s side have won all four matches in Messi’s absence.
Messi watched from the stands as Barcelona defeated Inter Milan 2-0 in the Champions League on October 24.
And they didn’t seem to miss their talisman too much as they thrashed rivals Real Madrid 5-1 last Sunday thanks to three goals from Luis Suarez.
They also won 1-0 at Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey last Wednesday and extended their advantage atop La Liga to four points following a last-minute 3-2 win at Rayo Vallecano on Saturday night.
Another win over Inter in the San Siro would secure Barcelona’s passage to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
