Koeman

 called him right after the Champions League victory with Bayern and told him he’s considerably in his plans and would really like him to return.

 

“Coutinho was thanks to return on September 7th, but he began training earlier because he didn’t want to lose his momentum and fitness.”

 

Coutinho has made 76 appearances for Barcelona since joining in January 2018, scoring 21 goals and assisting 11.
