Dani Olmo returns to Barca's training sessions

After several weeks on the sidelines, Dani Olmo took part in Barcelona's training session on Thursday with the group for the first time since he was injured against Girona on 15 September.

The Spanish international is finalising his return to action after a month out with a thigh biceps femoris injury, and his forthcoming recovery will join that of midfielder Fermin Lopez, who began training with the rest of the squad on Monday after three weeks out with a muscle injury.

Another who is close to making a comeback is midfielder Gavi, who started training with the squad in mid-September and is already seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after 11 months of rehabilitation from a serious knee injury.

Coach Hansi Flick, who brought midfielder Frenkie de Jong back into the squad before the international break, will add to his squad for the demanding run of games in the coming weeks against Sevilla (20 October), Bayern Munich (23 October), Real Madrid (26 October) and Espanyol (3 November).

The other new feature of Thursday's training session was the return of the internationals, including strikers Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, who trained with the group despite some niggles.
