According to Spanish television station CUATRO, the Argentinean player, who didn't attend the training session open to fans on Monday due to a bout of gastroenteritis, did turn up at the Sant Joan Despí training complex on Epiphany.
Having been unable to train the previous day, he had to present himself at Barcelona's facilities as all players that need medical clearance to train do and he did so despite the fact that Luis Enrique had given the whole squad the day off.
In the wake of much chatter for not being alongside his first team colleague on the day they went through their paces in front of thousands of 'Culé' fans, Leo Messi posted a statement on his Facebook account saying, "I would have liked to have been at the Christmas training session. I've never missed it before, but these things can't be controlled. I hope every child's dreams come true. All the very best".
Under Luis Enrique, footballers who are out for medical reasons must go to Barcelona facilities every day for recuperation, and since Messi was out for the open training session for medical reasons, his visit to Sant Joan Despí can be seen as totally routine.
Leo Messi continues to be the source of talking points at Barcelona recently and not for his quality on the pitch.
