Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has said that his teammate Lionel Messi will return from his latest injury 100% fit.
Messi was ruled out until the New Year having picked up a knock during Barca's 4-1 victory over Real Betis.
"Messi is intelligent, he knows what he needs. This is not a short-term injury," Busquets told the club's official website. "He's going to recover as well as possible, and he will do so calmly.
"He knows what he needs better than anyone else, and he knows that rushing things can lead to complications. When he comes back he'll be at 100 per cent."
The Catalan giants are currently leading La Liga, with Atletico Madrid three points behind in second place.
