The Argentine star is still hopeful he will be ready to play a part against Real Betis on Sunday

In Wednesday's training session, FC Barcelona began work ahead of their Camp Nou debut against Real Betis on Sunday. Leo Messi remains away from the group as he looks to improve his fitness. There was good news, however, as Nelson Semedo rejoined his teammates after spending two days away from them.

The right-back is fully fit and ready to work under Ernesto Valverde again. The other new face amongst the group was none other than Juvenil A's Ansu Fati. The young winger is valued very highly at La Masia and trained for the first time with the senior team today.

Other Barça B members involved were Iñaki Peña, Carles Pérez and Abel Ruiz. 

Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Suárez remain out with their respective injuries.
