Touré Yaya exercised normally with the rest of the team after training alone all week. The first team trained behind closed doors in preparation for Thursday’s cup match with Valencia.

The session was held in the Miniestadi, and featured the presence of Touré Yaya. The Ivorian has been out all week with a hernia in his back, not having worked with his colleagues since March 10, the day after the match with Villarreal.

Six B players

As well as the 18 first team players, Frank Rijkaard called upon six Barça B players Pedrito, Víctor Sánchez and Víctor Vázquez, who were all named in the last squad, and Eneko, Toribio and Fali.

Ronaldinho worked on his own at La Masia with a fitness coach, while the other injured players continued their respective programmes.

Final session on Wednesday

The first team will train again behind closed doors this time in the Camp Nou, starting at 11.00 am. This will be the last training session before the cup game on Thursday.
