Barcelona medical staff said on the club's website that the two star strikers would be fit for Wednesday's match at the Camp Nou. Messi recovered from an injury to his left leg that had kept him out of a 2-1 Spanish Supercup first leg victory over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday and an Argentina friendly last week. Ibrahimovic is poised to make his debut with the European and Spanish champions after recovering from surgery on a broken bone in his left hand. Barcelona paid Inter Milan a reported 66 million euros (about 93.5 million U.S. dollars) for the Sweden striker and also included Samuel Eto'o as part of the deal. |
