Barca striker Memphis Depay closing in on return to full fitness

Memphis Depay has played just two of Barcelona's last 12 matches but is pushing to return from a hamstring injury this week.

The forward first injured his hamstring against Bayern Munich on Dec. 8. He returned in January but after appearances against Granada and Real Madrid he suffered a relapse.

On Tuesday, Barça published images of the Dutch forward back in training, both with and without the ball, as he targets a comeback.

He's unlikely to be ready for Thursday's Europa League game at home to Napoli but could be available for Sunday's trip to Valencia in LaLiga.

Memphis trained despite Xavi giving the squad the day off, with Gol also reporting that Ter Stegen, Piqué, Jordi Eric Garcia, Jordi Alba, Busquets and Adama were also at the training ground along with the injured players Araujo, Lenglet and Sergi Roberto.
