Barça will take a late decision on his fitness before Wednesday's match

Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta is feeling good. The midfielder took part in the first part of Monday's training session at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí as preparation began for the Champions League game against Chelsea. 

Iniesta, who has been working hard to make Wednesday's game at Camp Nou, took a huge step forward on Monday, although Ernesto Valverde will leave it as late as possible before making a decision on his fitness. 

Barça have been without Iniesta since he injured his hamstring against Atletico last weekend. His availibility for the Chelsea game will depend, above all, on if he comes through Tuesday's session. 

Valverde trained with all his players with the exception of the injured Denis Suarez and Nelson Semedo. Also with the first team were Barça B players Carles Aleñá, Vitinho, Martínez, Samu Araujo and McGuane.
