Team News: Lionel Messi starts for Barcelona against Roma

Barcelona have named Lionel Messi in the starting lineup for their Champions League meeting with Roma at Camp Nou this evening.

The 28-year-old has not started since picking up a knee injury in a 2-1 win over Las Palmas in September, but proved his fitness after coming off the bench in the club's 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid at the weekend.

The Argentine is joined in the attack by Neymar and Luis Suarez, who both scored in that victory at the Bernabeu, but Andres Iniesta has to settle for a spot on the bench.

Roma, meanwhile, have started with Edin Dzeko, Iago Falque and Alessandro Florenzi in their forward line, as they look to maintain their unbeaten record in Europe against Barcelona.

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Alves, Vermaelen, Pique, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto; Suarez, Neymar, Messi Subs: Bravo, Iniesta, Bartra, Munir, Adriano, Mathieu, Samper

Roma: Szczesny; Maicon, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne; Pjanic, Keita, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Dzeko, Falque Subs: De Sanctis, Castan, Torosidis, Iturbe, De Rossi, Vainqueur, Ucan
