Barcelona have now returned to work under Ronald Koeman after various days rest and did so with a session on Monday afternoon. The coaching staff worked with the players that remain in the first team and who weren't with their respective countries.
The most positive note was Coutinho. The Brazilian was part of the session with all of his teammates and then continued working alone to recover from the injury that he suffered at the end of October and during the 'Clásico'.
"After a few days of rest, Ronald Koeman's men returned to training this Monday night on the Tito Vilanova pitch at the Ciudad Deportiva. A session that has counted on the presence of the available players of the first team that have not gone away with their international teams during this break. In addition, the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho has been part of the session with the group. The next training session will be this Tuesday at 11 a.m. in the Joan Gamper Sports City", the Catalan club explained.
Coutinho suffered an injury in the femoral biceps of the left thigh and is going to be out for three weeks. If he continues like that, the player could receive on Friday, as 'AS' indicate, the medical green light to be on the squad list to visit the Metropolitano. The team will undergo the PCR test on Thursday before training and will train individually.
