. Barcelona also left injured defenders Carles Puyol, Javier Mascherano and
Jordi Alba out of its squad for the trip to Glasgow. That means that Marc Bartra
will probably start again in the centre of the defence alongside Gerard Pique.
The little-used Bartra played perhaps his best game for Barcelona in Saturdays
2-0 win at Almeria. Messi hurt a muscle in his right thigh after scoring in
Barcelonas victory. It is Messis second leg injury this season. He missed the
second game of the season after bruising his left thigh and was ruled out of
several games at the end of last season with a right hamstring pull. Besides the
Celtic match, Messi is set to miss Argentinas games against Peru on Oct. 11 and
Uruguay on Oct. 15 as well as two Spanish league games against Valladolid and
Osasuna.

. -- This is how Kansas coach Bill Self wants Andrew Wiggins to play every
night.SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being
sober for good. Part of the process for the San Francisco 49ers All-Pro
linebacker to rejoin the team following a five-week stint in rehab included a
verbal commitment to the NFL that he would stay out of trouble and keep clean.
"I think any time we could all look into our lives and find something we need to
work on," Smith said Tuesday, seemingly relaxed. "Ive taken my time and Ive done
that." A clean-cut Smith -- hair trimmed from his previous long, curly cut --
returned to the 49ers locker room after his long absence and five missed games
to cheers from teammates who chanted his first name. Everybody knows what he
means to this franchise and defence -- and the 49ers are hopeful he is as
healthy as he looks and ready to return to the field as soon as Sundays home
game with Carolina. "Im getting there. Every days just a step closer to getting
to where I want to be," Smith said at his locker after practice. "Ive gotten a
lot of support, from my family, friends, organization, teammates and everything.
And it really says a lot that people care about me outside the field and they
care about me as a person." Smith had been on an indefinite paid leave of
absence before being activated to the 53-man roster Thursday, two days after he
turned himself in to Santa Clara County authorities on weapons charges. He met
last Wednesday with team officials. The fearsome pass-rusher is in shape despite
a couple of extra pounds gained during his stint at an in-patient treatment
centre for substance abuse. He was at a facility outside California, he said,
while declining to offer further details. He said he returned to the Bay Area on
Oct. 28 after entering rehab in late September -- and he was away for his 24th
birthday Sept. 25. Defensive teammate and fellow linebacker Patrick Willis is
among those who sent periodic text messages to Smith during his time away.
"Aldon has been a guy since he came in who has been very productive for our
defence, has been a playmaker for our defence," Willis said. "To get him back is
a good thing, then, too, with his absence we were able to develop some depth
with some of the other guys. Its really going to be a strong point for us. When
you have a guy such as Aldon with his talent, the biggest thing we can do for
him is just let hhim know were here for him, let him know that were his
teammates, but the main thing is just let him grow on his own.

quot; Smith played in a 27-7 home loss to the Colts on Sept. 22 and had five
tackles just two days after he was arrested and jailed on suspicion of DUI and
marijuana possession. He apologized for his behaviour after the game then later
announced he would leave for treatment. San Francisco (6-2) has won five
straight games in impressive fashion without him. Also in September, Smith and
former teammate Delanie Walker were named in a lawsuit filed in Santa Clara
County Superior Court by a Northern California man who said he was shot at a
party at Smiths house on June 29, 2012. Smith, selected seventh overall in the
2011 draft out of Missouri, had previously been arrested on suspicion of DUI in
January 2012 in Miami shortly after the 49ers lost in the NFC championship game.
Now, Smith is moving forward. Hes thrilled to be reunited with not only his team
but also his 10-month-old son, Aulis. "He looks good, man," running back
Frank Gore said. "Im a big fan of Aldon, a young guy who has the potential to be
one of the best at the position. Im happy hes back with the family. I know he
can help our team, so thats great." While Smith is scheduled for court
appearances each of the next two Tuesdays, he expects to be in practice. Smith
was charged Oct. 9 with three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault
weapon, stemming from that party at his home in June 2012. "Of course, I didnt
want to be away from the sport I love. But it was good for me to get away and
get my mind together and work, like I say, just to get to the positive spot I
need to be at," he said. "I caught some of the games, some that were broadcast
over there. So I was able to keep up with the guys and chime in here and there
and wish them good luck." Smith had a franchise-record 19 1/2 sacks last season
for the NFC champions. He has 4 1/2 sacks and 18 tackles over three games in
2013. "Im just taking it one day at a time, getting back here, being around the
guys and just getting my life back at home," Smith said. Also Tuesday, leading
2012 wideout Michael Crabtree was cleared to resume practicing following May
surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon. The 49ers now have three weeks
to activate him.
