Edmilson back in training

Edmilson returned to training with the rest of the squad on Monday morning.


The absence through injury of Rafa Márquez looks likely to be compensated in the next few days by the return to fitness of José Edmilson. The Brazilian worked out on Monday morning with the players who lined up against Levante and, if all goes according to plan, he should be given the medical all-clear on Wednesday. entreno_30-4-07_x5x.jpg

However, there was more injury woe for Barca on Monday morning as Messi, Ronaldinho and Oleguer were all absent due to the knocks they picked up on Sunday. Zambrotta, another player carrying an injury from the tough game against Levante, retired to the treatment room after a short warm-up session.

Belletti nearing fitness

Finally, Motta and Márquez were also both absent. Márquez looks set to be out for the next fortnight.

Training and conversation

WEB_04.jpgThe main aim of today’s session was to help the players recover from their efforts on Sunday against Levante. They took part in ball control exercises – including Rijkaard himself – and did some circuit training. Txiki Begiristain was present for the entire session, taking a close interest in proceedings and spending some time in conversation with Frank Rijkaard.

Thuram’s children
On a lighter note, the children of French defender Thuram, together with a number of their friends, set up some portable goals in a corner of the training grounds and took part in an improvised practice game.
