Barça Atlètic youngster Alberto Tomás Botía trained with the first team squad on Friday as Pep Guardiola prepared his players for the game against Athletic Club.
At 11am the players took to the field for the session in which the ball was the main feature as the
coaching staff looked to do some technical exercises. Every player had their own ball as they were
put through their paces.
Abidal recovering
In a bid to gain some invaluable expereince, Botía stepped
up to train for the second consecutive day with first team squad. One of the pillars at the back
for the B side is on stand-by after the suspensions to Dani Alves and Martín Cáceres.
The only absence from training was Éric Abidal, who worked specifically on recovering from
his injury. The rest of the squad worked under the watchful eye of Guardiola.
