The Brazilian could be back in the team against Valencia on Saturday

Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho returned to training on Wednesday ahead of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Valencia in Seville. 

Coutinho was taken off injured against Getafe in the La Liga game at Camp Nou 10 days ago but took part in the first half of Wednesday's session with his teammates. 

However, French defender Jean Clair Todibo did not take part in the session. He remained at home with a bug. 

Meanwhile, a number of Barça B players were called up by Ernesto Valverde: goalkeeper Iñaki Peña, right-back Moussa Wague, midfielders Oriol Busquets and Riqui Puig, and forwards Carles Perez and Abel Ruiz.

There are just three days to go until the Copa final, Barça's final game of the season as they look to complete back-to-back domestic doubles. 

Luis Suarez is definitely out after knee surgery and Ousmane Dembele is unlikely to make it. We will see if Coutinho is fit to return to face Valencia.
