FC Barcelona completed their last training session ahead of the Sevilla clash on Sunday. Luis Enrqiue used all the players in his squad, including the injured Rafinha Alcantara, who took a step forward in his recovery, completing the first part of the session with his team-mates for the first time since getting injured in September against Roma.

The Barcelona midfielder started to work with the ball in the middle of January, and now this is a new phase. On Saturday he took part in the warm-up rondos at the Ciutat Esportiva. In the first rondo Rafinha was inside, trying to intercept the ball with Sandro and Munir. Despite it being the first group session for him, the player was assured and confident.

After a few minutes with the team, Rafinha headed off to one side to continue his own session, with specific exercises for recovery.
