Maximum concentration

Edgar Fornós / Vanessa Forns

The first team is fully focused on Saturday’s derby. The 22-man squad was joined in training today by Barça Atlètic’s Abraham and Botía.

Pep Guardiola’s side worked out on Thursday morning at the Ciudad Deportiva, their third session this week in preparation for the game at the Camp Nou against Espanyol. The squad are fully focused on the game ahead.

Two from Barça Atlètic

With Puyol back from injury on Wednesday, but Iniesta now on the sidelines, there were 22 first team players present, along with Abraham González and Alberto Botía.

Recovery for Iniesta and Milito

The injured Milito, as on other days, worked alone at the start of the session. But he had company today in the form of Andrés Iniesta, who was diagnosed as having pulled a muscle on Wednesday and will be out for a fortnight. Iniesta left almost as soon as the first team started work, but Milito stayed on to work out with a fitness coach.
