A fully fit Sergi Roberto was among a small group of Barcelona players who returned to training on Monday.
The versatile 30-year-old has not played since dislocating his left shoulder after scoring in Barca’s 4-0 thrashing of Athletic Bilbao in October.
Sergio Roberto was cleared to train at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper over three weeks before the Blaugrana are back in action against Espanyol on December 31.
Defender Ronald Araujo also reported for training to continue his recovery from a groin injury that prevented him from playing for Uruguay in the World Cup.
Franck Kessie was also out on the pitch as he works his way back a hamstring injury.
Midfielder Kessie has been linked with Inter, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Fulham just five months after joining the Catalan giants from Milan on a free transfer.
Hector Bellerin, Marcos Alonso and Inaki Pena trained following a fortnight off while many of their team-mates were at the World Cup.
Head coach Xavi will welcome back more players who are no longer playing in the tournament in Qatar later this week.
