Andres Iniesta has returned to training with his Barcelona teammates.

The playmaker has been out of action since he sustained a hamstring injury during the 2-1 Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen at the end of September.

However, his presence at today's session has resulted in suggestions that the 31-year-old could now be included in the squad for Sunday's home La Liga encounter against Eibar at Camp Nou.

Iniesta has made eight appearances in all competitions for Barca this season.
