Paco Alcácer has made his return to training after an absence of several weeks, with the Spaniard taking part in the team's Sunday session.

The striker, who scored in each of his first eight competitive matches this season for both club and country, was sidelined in early October due to a torn achilles tendon before going on to suffer muscular problems in his calf.

The 26-year-old appeared to be in good spirits during the training session. Question marks remain with regards to the timing of his eventual return to competitive action.
