A day in the life of Lionel Messi at St. George's Park

Lionel Messi is one of the players part of the Barcelona contingent in the current stage of pre-season at St. George's Park, having decided to return home early from his post-season break.

The 29-year-old wasn't expected back until August 1 after featuring at the Copa America with Argentina - where he lost his third consecutive final with the Albiceleste - but took the decision to cut short his holidays and travel with the squad to England.

Messi has participated as normal in the different sessions under the orders of Luis Enrique and hopes to continue his preparations for the upcoming campaign in good stead, with the first piece of silverware in the Supercopa de Espana up for grabs in under three weeks time.

Barça posted a video on their Twitter account on Thursday - which can be viewed below - that tracked the Argentinian's activity at the home of the England national team as the Blaugrana players were put through their paces once again.
