Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has said he will wait until an hour before Saturday's mammoth clash with Real Madrid before deciding whether Lionel Messi will start on his return from a two-month injury layoff. Messi has been sidelined since damaging knee ligaments against Las Palmas on September 26, but is expected to feature at the Santiago Bernabeu after taking a full part in training this week.

"Messi's feelings since he rejoined the group have been positive and he is working at the rhythm of the group, but we still have to train today and then we will talk," Enrique said on Friday. "It is evident he isn't 100 percent physically, but, whether he plays or not, the great news is that he has recovered. "We will decide if Leo plays an hour before the game."
