Philippe Coutinho has defended his commitment to Barcelona after he was accused of lacking professionalism following a sluggish warm-up at Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The former Liverpool midfielder started the LaLiga clash on the bench but interim manager Sergi Barjuan reportedly asked him to get ready for action when winger Ansu Fati picked up an injury.
But Coutinho attracted criticism for his lethargic routine on the touchline and eventually didn't even come on as a substitute, with Alejandro Balde replacing Fati instead.
