After picking up a groin muscle injury during Barcelona’s match against Atletico Madrid, Lionel Messi may be set to return fully against Manchester City next month.

The Argentine number 10 has been ruled out for three weeks but hopes to be on the starting line-up when Barcelona take on Manchester City in the Champions League match on Wednesday, October 19.

Messi will miss Barcelona’s next three games against Sporting Gijon, Borussia Monchengladbach, and Celta Vigo. He will also miss two more matches with the Argentine national team against Peru and Paraguay.

It appears Luis Enrique will hand the 29-year-old some minutes against Deportivo Lacoruna to see how ready he is for the Champions league match against City.

Messi was substituted minutes into the second half of the game which ended 1-1.
