The Catalan side explained on Sunday that it will determine next week when Gomes can return to the squad fully fit after the 23-year-old suffered injury in Portugal's 5-0 win over Gibraltar on Thursday, reports Efe.
Meanwhile, Argentine star Lionel Messi returned to Barcelona on Sunday with pelvic pains that he picked up during his national side's game against Uruguay last Thursday.
