Barcelona midfielder Arthur has taken a step forward in his recovery from injury.
After being ruled out with a hamstring issue on February 8, the midfielder looked set for three to four weekson the sidelines, but the Brazilian has already begun training.
While most of the recovery work has been done alone, teammate Jasper Cillessen also did some exercises on the pitch.
The rest of the team continued to complete regular training sessions and will return to on Friday to prepare for Saturday's game against Sevilla.

Arthur is the new iniesta. Barcelona need a key player that coordinates the ball around them. And that is why Barcelona bought Arthur. He is such a great player. I'm glad he returned to training

please give Cotinho and or Arthur opportunity to play free kicks and penalty .Messi may be good at them but many a times he wastes such opportunities. The hallmark of a good coach includes ability to make potential strikers from the bunch that he has.Over reliance on a particular player to play a particular role in all matches can be counterproductive. Tayo.
