Paulinho, Pique & Luis Suarez welcome Coutinho to training
Philippe Coutinho was at the training ground on Tuesday for his first day of work
The Brazilian has a thigh injury, though, and couldn't train with his teammatess
Barcelona's record signing Philippe Coutinho is now one more at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper. In an image shared on social media by the club, the Brazilian was seen being greeted by his new teammates on Tuesday.
Two of those teammates, of course, were some of his best friends already at Barcelona: his Brazil colleague Paulinho Bezerra and his former Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez.
Suarez has already helped Coutinho get set up in Catalonia, even finding him a house in Castelldefels.
The fourth person in the photograph is Gerard Pique, one of the longest-serving players at Camp Nou and one of the most important people in the dressing room.
The image was taken before Tuesday's training session. After a day off, Ernesto Valverde had the players back in to prepare for the Copa del Rey game against Celta Vigo on Thursday.
Coutinho, who is recovering from a thigh injury, spent Tuesday working on his own, unable to train with his new teammates just yet.
