Sanchez, Thiago return from injury for Barcelona
Posted Thursday, March 15, 2012 by YAHOO Sport
Barcelona's Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez and his Spanish midfield colleague Thiago Alcantara both returned to training on Wednesday after spells on the sidelines, the European champions announced.
"Both players are recovering satisfactorily from their respective injuries and trained alongside their team-mates at Camp Nou," the club said on their website.
Sanchez sustained a tear to his right adductor muscle in the league game against Sporting Gijon, while Thiago injured his right shin, causing both players to miss the 7-1 drubbing of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last week.
French left-back Eric Abidal also returned to training after injuring his right hip in France's 2-1 friendly win over Germany at the beginning of the month, but he is not yet ready to resume training with his team-mates.
Barca have qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals but remain 10 points Real Madrid in La Liga, ahead of Saturday's trip to Sevilla.
