Lionel Messi has returned from Argentina and resumed training with his Barcelona teammates while he waits to be cleared by team doctors to play.
.
Messi tore his left hamstring on November 10 and had been in his home country recovering since November 29.
.
Barcelona also said that goalkeeper Victor Valdes has been given the go-ahead by team doctors to return.
.
Valdes looks set to start for Barcelona in Sunday's home Spanish league match against Elche for his first action in six weeks since hurting a right leg muscle while playing for Spain in a friendly at South Africa.
.
Barcelona had their only two losses so far this season playing without Messi and Valdes.
.
Barcelona lead the Spanish league along with Atletico Madrid.
I must say Barcelona has been lucky so far with the players in their team and their less number of injuries.
