Messi, Suarez and Neymar returned to Barcelona training on Monday

Mascherano is also back in work and Luis Enrique now has all of his players training again

FC Barcelona forwards Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar Jr returned to training on Monday. The three players brought a two week break to an end and rejoined their team-mates, along with another South American, Javier Mascherano

The four players were the only ones who hadn't returned yet after Gerard Pique opted to cut his Chirstmas break short (he was given the same time off as the others) and get back to work with the rest of the squad on Dec. 30. 

Messi, Suarez and Neymar made their way on to the pitch together to begin preparing for Thursday's Copa del Rey games against Athletic Club at San Mames. Luis Enrique must decide if he will prioritise the cup game or if he prefers to manage their minutes ahead of Sunday's key league game at Villarreal. 

The team have 72 hours to prepare for Athletic. Tuesday's training session will be open to the public at the Mini Estadi, with the players due to visit local hospitals afterwards.
