Barcelona: Valverde confirms Messi availability for Roma clash
The Argentinean entered the pitch in the second half of yesterday’s away 2-2 draw against Sevilla and scored a late equalizer to secure Barcelona one point ahead of their home clash against Roma on Wednesday.
Talking to media at the end of the game, Valverde said: “Messi remained on the sidelines for the last two weeks, I started from the bench because he is not 100% fit and we wanted to avoid any complication for him. I am sure he will be eligible to play against Roma, let’s see how he will react but I think he will react well. Every team is different if Messi plays, it’s not only at Barcelona. I don’t want to make any reference with what has recently happened.”
