Luis Enrique: Alba, Bravo return to training, both available vs. Leverkusen
It may not have been about Lionel Messi, but Barcelona manager Luis Enrique relayed some positive news about the status of two other players injured on Monday.
The Blaugrana bench boss, speaking ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, told reporters that both left-back Jordi Alba and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo have returned to training and will be available for the contest at the Camp Nou.

Alba has been dealing with neck soreness of late, missing the club's last three league matches. Bravo, meanwhile, has not been between the posts since late August, as the Chilean's season has been derailed by a calf injury.
