Rafael Márquez returned to training on the Camp Nou pitch as he continues his recuperation from injury. The Mexican international enjoyed some exercises along with Sylvinho.
Having been out of action since April 29 with an injury to his right leg, the 28-year-old central
defender has been slowly working his way back to full fitness and on Tuesday took a huge leap
forward as he trained outside for the first time. Accompanied by Sylvinho, he did a series of runs
and strengthening exercises.
Working with the ball
Throughout the session Márquez looked strong and kept up the
pace well. The former Monaco star was able to run freely and after some sprints showed that his leg
held up as he changed direction quickly. He finished the routine by doing some physical exercises
with a ball at his feet.
