Lionel Messi relaxs after a tough week back in training

Lionel Messi's return to work has been frenetic. Since arriving in Barcelona and moving forwards from his holidays, the striker hasn't stopped. After passing medical tests, he has been put through his paces by Luis Enrique in order to get back to match fitness. Messi was given an extended break, after participating in the Copa America, where he got all the way to the final.

Messi is not travelling to Florence to play in a friendly on Sunday with his teammates, but will stay in Barcelona, where he will continue training with those ruled out by Lucho. The Argentine has made the most of the opportunity to relax at his house, drinking mate, which is a popular South American drink.
