Busquets joins Barcelona group training after two weeks out
Luis Enrique has been without the Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets duo for two weeks now but within two days both Barcelona players have rejoined group training as they step up their recoveries.
Andres Iniesta brightened up Barcelona's day yesterday when he returned to training and today, it was Sergio Bisquets turn to put a smile on the face of Barcelona fans as he returned to training with the group at Barcelona's training complex. The midfielder returned to training after suffering a nasty ankle injury against Eibar two weeks ago when Gonzalo Escalante caught him with a late tackle.
Bilbao game too early for both
Barcelona play Athletic Club Bilbao on Saturday with Luis Enrique left with a conundrum regarding his midfield. Iker Muniain says Athletic Club have a "score to settle with Barcelona", which might suggest that tomorrow's clash at the Camp Nou will not be for the faint of heart.
Enrique is aware that neither can offer more than a half an hour in their current stages of recovery but don't be surprised to see them line out in Tuesday's clash against Atletico Madrid with Barça leading 2-1 from the first leg that was played last Wednesday at the Vicente Calderon.
