Samuel Umtiti's recovery from a knee injury has been slow and arduous but there were promising signs on Thursday when he was able to train with the rest of the Barcelona players.
The French centre-half suffered problems with his knee over a month ago and he still doesn't have a comeback date.
Lionel Messi was also out training and his situation is a lot clearer and after initially having been expected to be out for three weeks, he could return sooner.
