Malcom returns to Barcelona training this week

Malcom is back in training at Barcelona this week.

Sport says Malcom has been given the green light by the club's medical team to return to action and is avaialble for selection again.

He injured the ligament in his ankle on September 3 and has been out of action for three weeks.

Coach Ernesto Valverde's idea is to give Malcom minutes in the coming weeks due to the number of games Barça have before the next international break.

Ousmane Dembele's started the season in good form but it wouldn't be surprising if he's rested at some point in the next week, with Barça travelling to Leganes on Wednesday before hosting Athletic on Saturday.
