FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi will be able to hold his place on Saturday in Mallorca for the resumption of the Spanish Championship, despite some tightness in the right thigh, said his coach Quique Setien on Sunday.

The 32-year-old had trained alone at Camp Nou on Saturday after missing two sessions, creating doubt about his fitness for the trip to the Balearic Islands.
