Lionel Messi could make his return from injury for
Barcelona in the Copa del Rey match against Getafe
on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old has been out with a hamstring
injury since 10 November but is in the Nou Camp
outfit's squad for the first leg of the last-16 tie.
Messi's return comes ahead of his side's crucial
league game at Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Barcelona are top of La Liga but only lead Atletico
on goal difference, with both on 49 points from 18
matches.
Messi was troubled by injuries in 2013 and the
latest of those came when he limped out of a 4-1
win at Real Betis.
He was initially treated in Barcelona before being
allowed to return to Argentina before Christmas to
continue his rehabilitation.
He returned to Spain at the start of January but was
not fit enough to figure in the win over Elche on
Sunday.
