Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde admits he's working one-on-one with Philippe Coutinho.

Valverde admitted on Saturday that he's spoken with Coutinho to try and help the Brazilian re-find his best form.

"We spoke [before the Lyon game] to look over what he was doing well and where we could help him improve," said Valverde.

"I speak with the players to help them and see where we can improve, nothing more."

The coach preferred not to give anymore details away: "But the conversation will remain private."
