Messi, Neymar back for Barcelona pre-season training

Spanish football giant Barcelona's forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar have rejoined the treble winners for their pre-season training.

Messi’s Argentine teammate Javier Mascherano has also done the same. The duo were supposed to return not before Monday after their Copa America duties but have instead chosen to join four days early.

Neymar’s Brazilian compatriot Dani Alves, too, has returned to Camp Nou after enjoying an extended holiday following their Copa commitments.

The four South Americans were accompanied by German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for Thursday's medical.

Coach Luis Enrique has now almost his full squad available except Chilean custodian Claudio Bravo, who is still away on holiday and will be joining his teammates on Monday.
