Barcelona star Lionel Messi is clear to face Huesca on Saturday.

Sport says he was tested on Thursday after taking a whack on the face by Chris Smalling against Manchester United in the Champions League. But Barca medics confirmed he is fine to play at Huesca on Saturday.

Barca will not publish a statement about Messi because he was never officially considered injured, finishing the game at Old Trafford.

Messi is available for the weekend although coach Ernesto Valverde is expected to rest the Argentine star for the trip to play against Huesca.

On Tuesday, Barca face United in the Champions League again, the quarter-final second leg, this time at Camp Nou.
