Barca forward Suarez back in training before Cup final
Barcelona
forward Luis Suarez has returned to training with his team mates,
suggesting he will be able to play a part in Saturday's King's Cup final
against Athletic Bilbao after two weeks out with a hamstring problem.
The
Uruguay international sustained the injury in the Champions League
semi-final, second leg at Bayern Munich and missed Barca's final two La
Liga games, including the 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid when they secured a
fifth title in seven years.
"All the available players from the
first team trained," Barca said on their website (www.fcbarcelona.es) on
Wednesday. "Luis Suarez worked with them without yet being given the
medical all clear."
Barca are chasing a treble of titles and
after hosting Bilbao at the Nou Camp, when they will bid for a
record-extending 27th domestic cup crown, they take on Juventus in the
Champions League final in Berlin on June 6.
The Catalan giants are the only Spanish club to have won the treble, achieving the feat under Pep Guardiola in 2008-09.
Suarez
had a slow start at Barca after his ban for biting an opponent at the
World Cup expired at the end of October but has been in impressive form
since the turn of the year.
The 28-year-old has scored 24 goals
in 41 appearances in all competitions this season and has also laid on
16 assists, developing a fine understanding with fellow South American
forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar.
