www.fcbarcelona.cat
The football first team trained this Monday morning at La Masia in a session that started at 10 am. A number of players were missing as Guardiola had given them time off.
After their time in Scotland and Sunday off, the first team was back at work today Monday. It is the start of tough week in which Barça will play Fiorentina on Wednesday before heading off to the United States to play two friendlies.
Ten players
There were only ten players for this morning’s 10 am training
session: Alves, Abidal, Jorquera, Hleb, Keita, Puyol, Sylvinho, Xavi, Iniesta and Eto'o. Pep
Guardiola had decided to rest those who had spent more time on the pitch in Scotland.
Márquez and Gudjohnsen have niggles
Eidur Gudjohnsen has a strained left knee so missed the session to
continue receiving treatment. Meanwhile Rafa Márquez has strained hamstrings in both legs and began
with recovery work in the gym. Later on he came out onto the pitch to continue with his treatment.
Another session this evening
There will be another training session this evening at 6 pm in the Miniestadi. This time round
Josep Guardiola will have all his players, both those who trained this morning and those who were
resting.
