Touré Yaya, who missed training on Monday with a sore throat was back to training on Tuesday.

In the second day of training after the Christmas break, the first team worked out for more than an hour and a half at La Masia.

18 men

There were eighteen players present in the session and all that were missing were the five that are not due back until Friday, Alves, Cáceres, Messi, Eto'o and Keita. Milito, who is still injured, is also not back in Barcelona yet.

The best news was the presence of Touré Yaya, who on Monday stayed at home with a sore throat. The Ivorian, like Iniesta, was given the medical all-clear on Monday and trained in totally normal fashion on Tuesday.
