Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti returned to training on Saturday morning ahead of the clash with Levante.

He was with his team-mates at the start of the session although following his own recovery plan, says Sport.

Umtiti talked to vice-president Rafa Yuste, who was there to see the players before presenting the youth tournament 'Barça Academy World Cup'.

The player then went to the gym to continue his individual work. He was operated on his foot on January 18 after fracturing a metatarsal. He is set to be out a total of three months, and by the end of April should be back to availability.
