Messi, Umtiti return to Barcelona squad after injury lay-offs
The Barcelona captain and the France defender are in contention against Betis after recovering from a fractured arm and a knee injury respectively.
Lionel Messi is in line to make his return from a broken arm on Sunday against Real Betis after being named in Ernesto Valverde's squad.
Messi endured an awkward fall when colliding with Sevilla's Franco Vázquez in the 4-2 win on October 20 and fractured his arm in the process, ruling him out for three weeks.
He was provisionally named in the travelling squad for Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Inter in the Champions League, but having not been given the all-clear from medical staff, Barça opted to not include him in the final matchday selection.
However, Barca announced on Saturday he is back in contention to face Betis at Camp Nou, while Samuel Umtiti – who has not featured since the 2-1 defeat at Leganés on September 26 – is also in the squad after recovering from his knee injury.
Ousmane Dembélé will not be involved after the Frenchman reportedly missed training without permission on Thursday.
Philippe Coutinho is out for a few weeks with a muscle injury.
