Lionel Messi has returned to Barcelona training while carrying a COVID-19 test. The 32-year-old father of three had been spending time at home with his family during the worldwide lockdown measures to try and curb the spread of the pandemic, but he has now returned to work while wearing a protective mask.
Spain has been hit particularly hard by the virus that continues to take lives, but that hasn’t stopped La Liga bosses from putting plans into motion for the return of sport.
Messi posted an image of himself on Instagram wearing both a mask and gloves while carrying what appears to be a testing kit - sporting a longer hair style and a smile.
