Umtiti and Messi train again as Barcelona comebacks near
The two were both part of the group that trained on Friday
Samuel Umtiti and Lionel Messi trained again on Friday as Barcelona prepared for Rayo Vallecano at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí.
The Frenche defender and the Argentine forward formed part of the group that trained together during the 15 minutes open to the media.
However, despite making good progress, neither are expected to be in Ernesto Valverde's squad for the Rayo game on Saturday.
It's likely that Valverde does make changes, though, with Inter to come at the San Siro in the Champions League next week.
Messi, returning from a broken bone in his arm, could make the trip to Milan, although Umtiti's likely to wait a little longer before making his comeback from a knee problem.
