After travelling on Sunday to his native Belarus with a medical report, Alexander Hleb returned on Wednesday to Barcelona and on Thursday morning joined the training session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.

Josep Guardiola has recovered the services of the injured Alexander Hleb. The player briefly met up with his national team despite being injured, having travelled to his country with a medical report. On Wednesday he came back to Catalonia and reported for training on Wednesday morning.

Taking care

Although he took part in the full session, Hleb worked under precaution the whole time. He will work out again later today at the Camp Nou and on Friday has two further sessions as he continues his recovery programme.

Gentle work for keepers

The three first team goalkeepers, Víctor Valdés, José Manuel Pinto and Albert Jorquera, had a gentle session on the turf of the Ciutat Esportiva and following the warm up drills they headed straight back to the dressing rooms.

So Víctor Sánchez, Sylvinho and Hleb were the only first team players that worked out along with members of Barça Atlètic. The players were also visited by Pedro, who has come back injured from the Under 21 national side’s training camp.

Córcoles back

As for news from Barça Atlètic, Luis Enrique was glad to welcome back Córcoles, who trained normally. Meanwhile, the injured Jeffren left the field and trained in isolation.
