Messi fit to face Betis

After last Wednesday's scare against Benfica in the Champions League, Leo Messi has been called up to Vilanova's squad to face Betis. The team is made up of 19 players and therefore Tito will have to cut a player to accommodate the Argentinean.
Messi trained normally during Saturday's final pre-match session in Barcelona and will travel to Seville to face Betis, although whether he starts won't be decided upon until the last moment.
Barça has only able to manage a draw in its last two trips to the Benito Villamarín stadium. A draw this Sunday wouldn't be a bad result for Barça when you consider the club's league cushion over the second-placed Atlético (6 points) and third-placed and Real Madrid (11 points).
However, Tito Vilanova wants to avoid complacency. "It's true that we have a good lead, but in this league you lose one game, draw another and your lead soon starts to disappear".
Barça's squad for the game against Betis is made up of Valdés, Pinto, Puyol, Piqué, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Adriano, Dani Alves, Sergio Busquets, Song, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Thiago, Pedro, Messi, Alexis, Tello and Villa.
