Jordi Alba was back in Barcelona training on Thursday as Xavi’s men continued preparations for Saturday’s visit from Elche in La Liga.
The left-back has been ruled out with a hamstring injury which forced him off in the defeat to Bayern Munich and saw him miss the draw at Osasuna.
However, Alba was in training on Thursday and looks in with a chance of returning against Elche.
Xavi is still without a host of key players for Saturday’s match. Memphis Depay, Pedri, Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite and Sergi Roberto all remain sidelined.
