Valverde is hoping they will be fit for Wednesday's Champions League game

Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele both did some light training on Monday ahead of Barcelona's Champions League game against Inter Milan this week. 

The duo both missed Saturday's win at Getafe but were able to take part in some of Monday's session with their teammates on the Tito Vilanova pitch. 

However, Jordi Alba is not yet involved again and Ansu Fati was also absent having missed the win over Getafe. 

Coach Ernesto Valverde called up Barça B players Iñaki Peña, Guillem, Chumi, Mingueza, Sarsanedas and Carles Pérez for the session. 

Barça host Inter in Europe on Wednesday and then play Sevilla at Camp Nou on Sunday before October's international break. 

Messi has a slight thigh problem, which is different to the calf injury which ruled him out of Barça's first four games to the season.
