MADRID, Aug. 18 -- Lionel Messi and Zlatan

Ibrahimovic have both recovered from injury and will be available for

Barcelona's friendly against Manchester City, the Spanish giant said Tuesday.

Barcelona medical staff said on the club's website

that the two star strikers would be fit for Wednesday's match at the Camp Nou.

Messi recovered from an injury to his left leg that

had kept him out of a 2-1 Spanish Supercup first leg victory over Athletic

Bilbao on Sunday and an Argentina friendly last week.

Ibrahimovic is poised to make his debut with the

European and Spanish champions after recovering from surgery on a broken bone in

his left hand.

Barcelona paid Inter Milan a reported 66 million

euros (about 93.5 million U.S. dollars) for the Sweden striker and also included

Samuel Eto'o as part of the deal.
