Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde was given a boost in Saturday morning's training session as Sergio Busquets returned to action and the Spanish international could yet play against Getafe this weekend.

Fears over the condition of the La Masia graduate had been rife after he missed Friday's session through illness.

Management were told that Busquets had vomited and was suffering from general fatigue, so the club were delighted to see he had recovered sufficiently to take part on Saturday.

Busquets will almost certainly be included in Valverde's travelling squad for Sunday's fixture, while it remains to be seen whether Jeison Murillo will be given his club debut after arriving from Valencia at the beginning of the winter transfer window.
