Alexander Hleb trained on Friday morning on his won at La Masia. The Belarusian is still working on his recovery from injury.
Hleb, along with assistant coach, Tito Vilanova, and two first team fitness coaches, trained on
Friday morning at La Masia, the first of two sessions he is going to have today. He is trying to
recover as quickly as possible from a 2-3 degree sprain to ligaments in his left ankle and the
third median of the same foot suffered against Racing on September 13.
Strength and resistance
The midfielder did circuit training as he tried to work on such aspects
as strength and resistance. Hleb combined a series of different runs, jumps and crosses, always
with the ball at his feet.
Thursday with group
Though taking extreme caution, Hleb took part in the Thursday training
session at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper along with Barça Atlètic. Before that FC
Barcelona’s Belarus international had travelled to his home country with a medical report as
he met up with his national squad.
