Barcelona defenders Umtiti & Jordi Alba train before Levante game
Both could be in contention to play this weekend despite injury problems
FC Barcelona trained on Friday ahead of Saturday's league game away against Levante in Valencia. The main news was the presence of Samuel Umtiti, who could return from a knee problem this weekend. Jordi Alba, who ended the game against Real Valladolid with a problem, also took part.
Umtiti has played just once this season, away at Eibar. The Frenchman then injured his knee and missed the trip to Prague for the Champions League game against Slavia. He also missed the win over Real Valladolid in La Liga in midweek. After Friday's session, the club's medical team will decide if he's fit for Levante.
Alba, meanwhile, was taken off against Valladolid with a knock. However, he should be fine for Saturday.
