Ousmane Dembele returned to Barcelona training on Thursday as he steps up his recovery from injury.
The French star did part of the session with the group which is good news for Ernesto Valverde’s side ahead of some crucial games.

It is expected Dembele will sit out Saturday’s La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou, but he may be fit to face Manchester United on Wednesday.
Barcelona then play bottom side Huesca in La Liga before the second leg of their Champions League clash on April 16.
