The Blaugrana boss is waiting to have all his players back to begin preparations for the visit of
Racing Santander at the weekend Gerard Piqué, Pedro, Seydou Keita and Touré Yaya all returned with
the two Spanish Under-21 players having helped the team to a 2-0 victory over Russia.

front of La Masia with 17 players present, ten first team regulars and seven from Barça Atlètic.
