The young midfielder missed Valencia with a bug, while Dembele's had a hamstring issue

After a day off on Monday, FC Barcelona returned to training on Tuesday in preparation for Thursday's Copa del Rey game against Leganes at Camp Nou. 

Quique Setien was boosted by the presence of Riqui Puig, who missed the Valencia game with an illness, while Ousmane Dembele trained once again. 

Dembele has not played since Nov. 27 when he injured his hamstring against ex-club Borussia Dortmund. He did part of his recovery work in Qatar. 

As well as Riqui Puig, there were a number of other B team players involved in the session: Iñaki Peña, Ronald Araujo, Chumi, Collado, Saverio, Abel Ruiz and Ansu Fati.

Meanwhile, Moussa Wague and Carles Perez did not train. The duo are expected to leave the club this week. Wague could move to Nice of Valencia (as part of the Rodrigo deal) and Perez is set for Roma.
