Barcelonas ace Lionel Messi has begun training this morning on the sand of Abu Dhabi's beaches in an effort to aid his ailing ankle's recovery.

Rated as doubtful for Barca's Club World Cup semi-final match against Mexican outfit Atlante, Messi hopes to be ready in time for the final should Barca come out as the victors.

The Argentine starlet has trained with and without the ball on the sand with the aim of putting a less stress on his sprained ankle than would happen if training on harder ground.

According to the preliminary assessment, Messi could still train with the rest of his team-mates in this afternoon's training session. Messi's injury has already kept him out of last weekend's Barcelona derby against Espanyol and it remains to be seen if he will be able to dispute the Club World Cup.
