Wednesday training at the Ciutat Esportiva saw the return of Leo Messi and Ivan Rakitic, following their international commitments. The pair joined up with the group in preparation for this Saturday's game against Leganés, on Matchday 12 of the LaLiga season.
Messi had featured for Argentina in a friendly against Russia, and was rested for his country's other fixture against Nigeria. Rakitic helped Croatia get through to the 2018 World Cup, as they overcame Greece 4-1 over two legs in their playoff game.
