Coutinho back at training

Brazilian joins part of the Wednesday session as he battles to be ready for the Copa del Rey Final

Ernesto Valverde have completed their second training session in preparation for Saturday’s Copa del Rey Final at the Benito Villamarín against Valencia (9.00pm CEST).

The Wednesday workout included the welcome return of Philippe Coutinho, who joined in with part of the group activities as he battles to get over a hamstring injury in time for the weekend. However, Jean-Clair Todibo is feeling unwell and was excused from a session that also featured a strong Barça B presence in the form of Iñaki Peña, Moussa Wague, Oriol Busquets, Riqui Puig, Carles Pérez and Abel Ruiz.

The team will be back at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper for more training on Thursday at 11.00am CEST, while the Friday sessions will also include the pre-cup final press conferences, which will be streamed live on this website – after which the players will be flying south to Seville.
