Jordi Alba, Ansu Fati closing in on Barcelona return

Barcelona have been handed a boost after Jordi Alba and Ansu Fati took part in training on Saturday.

Alba has been absent from the squad since sustaining a hamstring injury against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on September 17.

However, four matches after suffering the setback, the left-back has featured in a session along with the rest of the group ahead of Sunday's meeting with Sevilla.

Fati has also been sidelined with a knee problem, although it appears that the teenager is now in contention for the clash in La Liga.

Manager Ernesto Valverde must now decide whether to retain the same starting lineup which fought back to defeat Inter Milan earlier this week.
