Barcelona No2 Jordi Roura says Lionel Messi is fully fit after playing in their 2-2 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

Roura spoke of Messi's introduction before the hour mark.

"Messi is well. He's recovering as planned and he played a good match today," said Roura.

"We have to take this one game at a time. We'll try to win the title. It's very difficult to win away to Athletic, we had the match won and they showed us why they are hard to defeat. We're getting closer to our objective."
