Alexis Sanchez returned to training on Saturday ahead of Barcelona's Copa del Rey match against Osasuna.
The Chile international was sidelined by a leg injury he picked up during the European champions' Club World Cup triumph this month. Sanchez has been hampered by injury during his first season with the Catalan club, having missed nearly two months at the start of the campaign.
Barcelona says Carles Puyol worked out on his own because of a leg problem, while fellow defender Eric Abidal did not train due to a cold. Andres Iniesta is still recovering from a leg muscle injury.
Barcelona faces Osasuna on Wednesday before a Jan. 8 league match against Espanyol.
