Good news for Lionel Messi! Despite initial expectations of reuniting with his Barcelona teammates around mid-January after recovering from a thigh injury, recent reports suggest that Messi could make an earlier return. The latest ultrasound results indicate that his injury has completely healed. As a result, Messi might join his teammates on January 2 and could even be available for the match against Elche on January 5, a week ahead of the initially planned return date. This development is a positive sign for Messi as he looks forward to the second part of the season with Barcelona, and it may also play a role in discussions about renewing his contract with the club.
