Barcelona confirm Coutinho fit to face Atletico

Barcelona confirmed on Friday that Philippe Coutinho has been passed fit and is back in the squad for Saturday’s trip to Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian has been out since picking up a hamstring injury in the defeat to Real Madrid but could now feature at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Koeman spoke about Coutinho in his pre-match press conference but didn’t give much away over whether the Brazilian would start the match.

“We are happy that Philippe is back. He’s training well, without problems. He’s had almost a week now with the group training.
