Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has returned to training after making a recovery from a hamstring injury.

The Spanish World Cup winner suffered the strain during Barca's 2-2 draw with AC Milan in the Champions League last month.

He has since missed three weeks' worth of action and as a result was not selected in Vicente del Bosque's squad for Spain's upcoming Euro 2012 fixtures against the Czech Republic and Scotland.

However, the 27-year-old took part in a training session with Barcelona's second string this morning and is expected to return after the international break.

Iniesta's teammates Cesc Fabregas and Eric Abidal are also close to a return following injuries.
