BARCELONA TEAM NEWS: MESSI AND BUSQUETS RETURN TO STARTING XI AGAINST ROMA.

Lionel Messi makes his return to Barcelona’s starting XI for Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Roma at Camp Nou.



The Argentine maestro missed both of his country’s friendlies in the most recent international break due to a hamstring injury.



Messi could only make the bench for the weekend’s La Liga encounter with Sevilla, and came on as a second-half substitute to help Barcelona to a comeback 2-2 draw.



Elsewhere, Sergio Busquets is also fit for the Blaugrana after missing three weeks due to suffering a broken bone in his foot against Chelsea on March 14.



Ousmane Dembele must be content with a place on the bench, as Sergi Roberto has been given a start in midfield.



For Roma, Cengiz Under and Radja Nainggolan are unavailable due to injury, while Lorenzo Pellegrini has passed a late fitness test.



Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba; Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic, Roberto; Messi, Suarez.



Subs: Cillessen, Denis Suarez, Dembele, Paulinho, Alcacer, Andre Gomes, Vermaelen



Roma XI: Alisson; Peres, Manolas, Fazio, Kolarov; Pellegrini, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi, Dzeko, Perotti



Subs: Skorupski, J. Jesus, Gonalons, Gerson, El Shaarawy, Schick, Defrel

UEFA and this their cheating sef. It no go work for them.
