The trio all trained as normal on Saturday despite their respective fitness issues

Barcelona need to beat Osasuna on Sunday at Camp Nou if they don't want to see their title chances evaporate before Christmas. 

Ronald Koeman's side trained on Saturday ahead of the game and were boosted by the presence of Sergiño Dest, Sergio Busquets and Samuel Umtiti. 

The alarm bells were raised on Friday when Dest didn't train because of a minor problem, but he was back with the group on Saturday. 

If fit, he will start again against Osasuna after impressing against Dynamo Kiev with Sergi Roberto sidelined for two months. 

In addition, Busquets and Umtiti also trained as normal. Busquets has recovered earlier than expected from a knee injury picked up while with Spain. 

Koeman, meanwhile, is waiting for Umtiti to be passed fit. The French defender's not played since June so there will be no risks taken with him. 

Saturday's session also included the B team players Oscar Mingueza, Ramos Mingo, Konrad de la Fuente and Iñaki Peña.
