The full-back suffered a dislocated ankle in a 6-0 win over Alaves – this weekend’s opponents – in February and initial assessments put his recovery time at five months.

However, Barca tweeted to confirm he was back on the training pitch with his team-mates in the build-up to Luis Enrique’s final match in charge, when he will hope to sign off with silverware.

There was a blast from the past on show, as Ronaldinho – a star for the club between 2003 and 2008 – paid a visit.

Barca’s LaLiga campaign concluded with a 4-2 win over Eibar, but Real Madrid’s victory against Malaga ensured the title went to the capital.
