Messi suffered the injury in pre-season and has been unable to feature even as a substitute in Barca’s first four LaLiga games of the 2019-20 season.
The 32-year-old returned to training last week and took part in the full session on Sunday, despite coach Ernesto Valverde suggesting prior to Saturday’s 5-2 demolition of Valencia that Messi would not be fit enough to face Dortmund.
But ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League opener, Messi has been named on Barca’s squad list, meaning an appearance at Signal Iduna Park is a possibility.
