The duo are doubts for Saturday’s game with Valencia

Barcelona were once again without Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi for training on Tuesday, although Spain duo Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets were back with the squad.

Messi and Suarez are both still recovering from calf injuries and it had been expected they would be fit in time for Saturday’s La Liga clash with Valencia.

There is still time for the duo to prove their fitness. Barcelona train again on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ahead of the match at the Camp Nou.

If Messi and Suarez do not make it then it could mean more game time for Ansu Fati. The 16-year-old is still training with the first team and could be included in the squad for the game.
