Lionel Messi back for Barcelona vs. Osasuna

Lionel Messi has confirmed that he is ready to return for Barcelona's clash against Osasuna tonight.

The four-time Ballon d'Or winner has been missing in recent weeks with a thigh injury, but the Argentina international has revealed that he is fit to be considered for this evening's game.

"Ready to come back," the 26-year-old wrote after posting a picture of himself training on his Instagram account.

Despite the forward's month-long absence, Barca remain unbeaten in La Liga and are currently top of the division.
