Barcelona: After missing the recovery session on Thursday for personal reasons, Argentinian football superstar Lionel Messi trained as usual on Friday with Barcelona to prepare for La Liga match on Saturday against Deportivo La Coruna.

The forward trained with his teammates at the sports city of Sant Joan Despi, where Sergi Roberto and Jeremy Mathieu, who remain without a medical discharge, have also been training normally, reports Efe.

If Roberto and Mathieu do not join the Barcelona squad playing on Saturday, their participation in the Club World Cup in Japan seems assured.

Less clear is the presence of Neymar in the competition which starts next week, as the Brazilian star is still recovering from the minor hamstring injury in his left leg he sustained last Tuesday in the Champions League game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
