Coutinho returns to training ahead of Copa del Rey final
The Brazilian has been out with a thigh injury
Philippe Coutinho returned to Barcelona training on Wednesday after a spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury picked up against Getafe.
The Brazilian joined in with part of the session which suggests he has a chance of featuring in Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Valencia.
⚽ Entrenament dels jugadors disponibles del primer equip al camp Tito Vilanova. Coutinho fa part de l'entrenament amb el grup. Todibo no s'entrena per malestar general. També hi són Iñaki Peña, Wague, O. Busquets, Riqui Puig, C. Pérez i Abel Ruiz del Barça B.

However, there was no sign of Ousmane Dembele again, and it looks almost certain that the Frenchman will not be available for Saturday’s final game of the season.
The club’s injury situation means that if Coutinho is fit he does have a chance of starting despite having struggled for his best form this season.
Luis Suarez will also miss the game after undergoing knee surgery, while it would be a surprise if Ernesto Valverde were to start Malcom at the Benito Villamarin.
