Setién wants a closer look at the Barça B full back following the injury to Jordi Alba

Sergio Akieme is training with the first team at FC Barcelona again this morning. Quique Setien first looked at the youngster on Wednesday. 

The Barça B left back is an option after Jordi Alba was ruled out through injury.

Akieme joined in the summer from Rayo Vallecano and signed a two-year deal, with an option to extend it by a further two.

He's first choice under Garcia Pimienta and could be named in the squad for the match against Eibar.

Araujo, Riqui Puig, Rey Manaj and Ansu Fati also trained with the first team.

Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele remain out for the majority of the season. New signing Martin Braithwaite is expected to take part in the afternoon session.
