Barcelona were handed a major fitness boost on Monday as Hansi Flick’s side returned to training ahead of the weekend’s La Liga clash with Girona.
Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal were both back training with the group and look set to be passed fit in time for the match at Montjuic.
Yamal has been struggled with a groin injury that saw him miss out on World Cup qualifiers with Spain over the international break, while Lopez has missed around three weeks
after sustaining a muscle problem against Getafe.
There was no sign of Raphinha on Monday, as he closes in on return to fitness, although it’s hoped he will rejoin his team-mates later this week.
Ferran Torres is also expected to be available at the weekend, despite an early return from Spain duty, but Dani Olmo, Gavi, Joan Garcia and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain on the injured list.
