The good news from Sunday morning's training session was not just Pique's return. Koeman also got back Ronald Araujo after he overcame his ankle injury. The Uruguayan could reappear against PSG in the Champions League.
Both Ronald Araujo and Gerard Pique returned to training on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League clash at the Camp Nou with PSG. Araujo got an ankle injury against Betis last week while Pique has been out with a knee problem for the last three months.
Of the two centre-backs, the Uruguayan is the player who is closer to returning. Araujo suffered an injury to his left ankle and could even take painkillers to be able to take part in Tuesday's encounter.
Pique's fitness is unknown, but he said on social media that he is feeling good after ruling out a knee operation.
The 34 year-old centre back suffered a grade 3 tear of his internal lateral ligament and an injury to the ACL in his right knee, his medical report said. Doctor Ramon Cugat, who treated him, said he would be out for five to six months.
Araujo and Pique trained with those players who did not start against Alaves while the starters did a recovery session instead.
