Barcelona fullback Adriano believes that Leo Messi has been making good progress with his hamstring injury, and might well be available for the crucial match this weekend against the Los Blancos.
“He is recovering very well, doing everything to get to the game and to have him in the team changes a lot,” said Adriano to Mundo Deportivo (via Daily Mirror). “Every day he’s been the Leo we’re accustomed to: laughing, joking, and doing things with confidence. Would I put money on him playing in the Clasico? Hopefully, yes.”
Although Messi has been absent from action since the ending of September, his fellow South American forwards Luis Suarez and Neymar have stepped up to the plate and carried FC Barcelona through some tricky fixtures to the top of the table. However, Adriano believes that the Argentine international's presence imparts an extra bit of confidence to the team.
“There’s a difference when he plays or doesn’t, but in his absence we’ve managed to come together and move forward in matches,” says Adriano.
According to Mundo Deportivo Leo Messi will be training with the first team this week in preparation for El Clasico.
