Ivan Rakitic returns to Barcelona training ahead of Copa del Rey final

Ivan Rakitic has returned to Barcelona training ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Croatian has been absent since undergoing surgery on a broken finger sustained in the Champions League defeat to Roma.

He is expected to be fit for Saturday’s game with Ernesto Valverde set to name a strong team after making loads of changes for the 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo on Tuesday.
