Messi returned to training on Tuesday and was 含むd in the squad for the first-脚 match at （軍の）野営地，陣営 Nou Stadium, although it was still 不明瞭な whether he had fully 回復するd from a 権利 脚 傷害.
"The most important thing is for the player to tell you that he is ready," coach Ernesto Valverde said. "関わりなく what the 実験（する）s show and what the doctors say, if the player doesn't feel he is ready, you can't let him play."
Messi showed no 調印するs he was bothered by the 傷害 during the 開始 few minutes of the training 開会／開廷／会期, which were open to マスコミ, as players warmed up and played keep-away.

Barcelona has kept 静かな about the 十分な extent of Messi's 傷害 since he was 傷つける in a Spanish league match on Saturday.
Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari said the 不確定 about Messi wasn't 影響する／感情ing his team's 準備s.
"It's always good to have the best players playing in every match," he said. "Whether he plays or not, it's not going to 影響（力） how we 準備する for the game."
Madrid arrives for the match at （軍の）野営地，陣営 Nou enjoying its best period of the season and with nearly all of its players 利用できる. Solari has all of his best 今後s, 含むing an in-form Karim Benzema, the quickly 円熟したing Vinicius Junior, and a fully fit Gareth Bale.
"It's harder when you have all the players 利用できる, because it means you have to leave someone out," Solari said. "It's one of the hardest parts of the 職業 for a coach."
Bale is one of the many Madrid players who have 回復するd from 傷害 in 最近の days, along with other 今後s Mariano Diaz and Marco Asensio. Bale returned as a starter on Sunday と一緒に Benzema and Vinicius Junior as Alaves was beaten 3-0 in the Spanish league, the team's fifth 連続した 勝利，勝つ in all 競争s.
Solari may not start Bale with Vinicius Junior on Wednesday as they usually play on the same part of the field and their presence could make the squad too unbalanced and more 攻撃を受けやすい defensively.
There is little 疑問 Benzema will start, as he has six goals in the last four matches. The French striker has 18 goals, six more than he had in all of last season.
It would also be hard to leave out Vinicius Junior, who has taken 十分な advantage of Bale's absences to become a 正規の／正選手 starter and a popular player with Madrid fans. The 18-year-old Brazilian has 追加するd flair to the attack.
Messi was 傷つける when Barcelona drew with Valencia 2-2 at home, a result that 停止（させる）d the team's eight-game winning streak in the Spanish league. The club has yet to 解放（する） a 十分な 医療の 報告（する）／憶測 on the 傷害, and he didn't practice with his チーム仲間s on Monday.
Messi has 得点する／非難する／２０d in nine straight games in all 競争s, and is the league 主要な scorer with 21 in 22 matches.
He 行方不明になるd Barcelona's 5-1 league 大勝する of Madrid in October because of a broken 権利 arm. He was 残り／休憩（する）d two weeks ago when Barcelona lost at Sevilla 2-0 in the Copa del Rey 準々決勝.
Valverde said his team won't change the way it plays if Messi is absent, and that his 参加 shouldn't be seen as a 重要な factor.
"I don't think it (Messi playing or not) changes which team will be considered the favorite," he said. "I don't think there is a favorite in a semifinal between Barcelona and Real Madrid."
Ousmane Dembele, who had trained 分かれて on Monday, also re-joined his チーム仲間s in Tuesday's practice, but he was not 含むd in the squad 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） for Wednesday's game.
The first 脚 of the semifinal in the Copa del Rey is the first of three matches between the 競争相手s in いっそう少なく than a month.
