Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admits he will continue to rotate Lionel Messi in the second-half of the season.
Koeman has been managing Messi's time on the pitch this season as he seeks to get the most from the Argentine.
He explained, "In principle this is for any player. If he is fit to play and is so good, he plays. And of course, Leo is older than before, but he is still a player who likes to be there a lot and above all, winning games.
"He is enjoying each day with training and is very involved. As a coach I talk to my players, and I also talk to Leo about this and about other things because he is captain of the team as well, and there are dressing room things, rules, and we talk about many things, not just the game.
"I mean, this is the daily job of a coach who has communication with his players."
