Jordi Alba returns to training with the group ahead of Clasico
The fullback had to train alone on Wednesday but he was fine to train normally Thursday
Carles Alena was the only B team player called up for the game against Madrid
Barcelona B trained on Thursday two days before the Clasico. They did so with Jordi Alba back fit and able to train with the group after sitting out the session on Wednesday for precaution. With the defender back Ernesto Valverde can breathe calmly, as the Spaniard is a key fixture in the team and important for his tactical system.
The coach used all available players as well as Carles Alena from Barcelona B. The rest of the B squad is on holiday already.
