(Reuters) - Barcelona coach Luis Enrique expects Lionel Messi to bounce back from a difficult summer with his usual enthusiasm -- and does not rule out a return to international football.

Messi and his father Jorge were given jail sentences by a Spanish court earlier this month for tax fraud, and the Argentina captain quit international football after his country lost to Chile in the Copa America final in June.
