Argentina striker Lionel Messi re-joined his national team for training on Wednesday in Chicago, two days before their Copa America Centenario match against Panama.
The Barcelona star has been fighting a back injury he sustained in a friendly last month. He missed the Albiceleste's 2-1 win in the opener against Chile on Monday night.

Midfielder Lucas Biglia, who also missed the Chile game, was the only player to train on the sidelines on Wednesday as he continues to battle a muscle tear.
