Lionel Messi - Probable for Ajaccio game Messi (disciplinary) was named in the 20-man squad for Saturday's match versus Ajaccio.

Impact Messi is now officially out of his exile half way through of his two-week suspension after training all week as well. Given the rank of their opponents though there's still a chance that youngster Hugo Ekitike gets the nod up front to pick up some experience with Messi ready to save the day off the bench if needed. In case the maestro lines up next to Kylian Mbappe from the start however he'll be a serious danger after five goals and five assists from his past 11 matches.
