Atletico Madrid's Pablo Barrios: Returns to training

Barrios (undisclosed) trained with the group Monday and could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League return leg against Barcelona, according to RNE Deportes.

Analysis:

Barrios could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League return leg against Barcelona after returning to training with the group Monday, having missed the last six matches due to a thigh injury. The midfielder had been a starter prior to the setback and could gradually work his way back into that role, with the staff expected to manage his minutes carefully to avoid a setback, while competition from Johnny Cardoso and Koke remains in midfield.
