The Merseyside outfit followed up an opening 4-1 defeat of Wolfsburg at Goodison Park with a 1-1 draw at Krasnodar before picking up another valuable point against this week's opponents in France.
That goalless stalemate at Stade Pierre-Mauroy was a far more entertaining encounter than the scoreline suggests, with both sides going close to claiming victory.
"I am buzzing to be back," he told the club's official website. "It was frustrating at the time being injured and it was hard to be in the stands watching all the lads out there playing. I am relieved to now be back out on the pitch."
"It is hard when teams target me but I know I have a lot to learn," added Barkley. "The more I play, the more I learn how to deal with things like that.
"It's just about growing up and knowing that teams are going to put pressure on me. It is flattering in a way if teams have to put two men on me!"
The French outfit have been struggling for goals in Ligue 1 this term, with just nine scored in 12 games, but Origi's pace troubled Everton a fortnight ago and he will need to be well marshalled here.
