Injured Messi making good progress, (29 Apr 2006 16:24 GMT)
Barcelona starlet Lionel Messi is making good progress from a leg injury and could be close to making his return to action, according to Argentina team doctor Donato Villani.
The 18-year-old has been out for over a month with a pulled muscle in his calf, sustained against Chelsea on 7 March in the UEFA Champions League after he tried to return too quickly from a previous injury.
Villani is keen not to rush him this time, though. "The injury has healed very well but we cannot yet put a date on his return to action because that would put too much psychological pressure on him," said Villani.
