Barcelona
forward Lionel Messi has been handed a fitness boost ahead of this summer’s
2016 Copa América.
The Copa,
which kicks off on June 3rd in the USA, is a special centenary edition and will
involve teams from North, Central and South American confederations. Argentina
are the favourites for the competition but when Messi picked up a rib and back
injury in a pre-tournament friendly against Honduras, doubts arose.
