Lionel Messi was seen training on the pitch one day after the friendly match against Hamburg SC. He didn’t join the team and trained separate from others, accompanied with one of the coach staff.
The training includes running, and working with the ball kick.
Messi got his calf injury during earlier training session. Hamburg SV management is reported to be furious about the incident, knowing that Messi won’t be playing on the match. It was understandable since they already paid around €1,2 million for Barcelona, including Messi. And due to the absence of the striker, Barcelona had to return €400,000 of the amount as a penalty.
