Sergi Samper fit and ready to return for Barcelona

Barcelona received another boost on Friday with news that Sergi Samper is fit again after suffering an ankle problem last month.

The midfielder, who has had a dreadful time with injuries, suffered the setback in training but is now fit and available once again.

The club confirmed at the start of the season that Samper would be part of the first-team squad after spending most of the last campaign on loan with Las Palmas.
