Father-to-be Messi available for Barcelona's game against Celta Vigo The Argentinean wizard ready for Barcelona's Spanish La Liga game against Celta Vigo
Barcelona forward and league top scorer Lionel Messi should be available for the leaders' game at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday despite the imminent birth of his first child, coach Tito Vilanova said on Friday. "In principle he'll be available for the match," Vilanova, who had a stint at Celta as a player, told a news conference. "It won't change anything that he hasn't trained for one day, it's not significant." Barca centre back Gerard Pique has been out for more than a month with a foot injury and will again be sidelined on Saturday but Vilanova said he expected the Spain international to be back training with his team mates soon. "He has been training more intensely for some days now and it's a matter of a few days before he returns to work with us," Vilanova said. "It's important to get players back (from injury), above all in that position, where Carles Puyol is also missing," he added. Puyol has not played since dislocating an elbow in last month's Champions League win at Benfica. Goalkeeper Javi Varas returns to the Nou Camp in the colours of Celta just over a year after his brilliant performance for previous club Sevilla helped them secure a 0-0 La Liga draw. "In terms of media coverage it was my best night but on a personal level I have had better games," Varas, who saved a Messi penalty in added time, told Barca TV.
