Barcelona supporters will be thrilled. Getafe supporters, well, not so much. Of course, with a huge match against Atletico Madrid coming this weekend—and the top spot on the table hanging in the balance—Martino may choose to give Messi a few more days to reach fitness. Getafe will be hoping that the Catalans overlook their Copa del Rey match in the process.
