Lionel Messi, Neymar join Barcelona squad

Lionel Messi and Neymar both train with Barcelona ahead of Sunday's Club World Cup final against River Plate in Japan.

Barcelona are expected to have both Lionel Messi and Neymar available for Sunday's Club World Cup final against River Plate.

Neymar was always likely to miss the semi-final against Evergrande Guangzhou on Thursday after picking up a leg problem, but Messi was a last-minute withdrawal after suffering with renal colic - a condition often linked to kidney stones.

Both players took part in training on Friday, however, and according to AS, head coach Luis Enrique is expected to name the attacking pair in his starting XI.

Fellow attacker Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick as Barcelona eased into the final of the competition with a comfortable 3-0 win over their Chinese semi-final opponents.

The Spanish giants, who qualified for the Club World Cup courtesy of their Champions League victory earlier this year, last won the showpiece event in 2011.
