Trending: Which clubs are going to sign Lionel Messi?
Messi had been practicing separately from the group since returning to the club on Monday. He had not been with the squad since announcing he wanted to leave and then deciding to stay to avoid a legal dispute with Barcelona.
He needed to pass two coronavirus tests before he could practice with the rest of the squad under incoming coach Ronald Koeman.
Philippe Coutinho, who had also been training independently, was also back with the party. Also returning were players who had been for Nations League matches with their national teams including Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati, and Sergio Busquets.
