Jordi Clos

Pep Guardiola called up four youth team players for training on Thursday to make up the numbers as the injury list increased this week with Dmytro Chygrynskiy joining three other on the treatment table.

Marc Bartra, Albert Dalmau, Marc Muniesa and Jonathan Dos Santos joined the first team to be put through their paces and joined in with the round of applause given to Jeffren Suárez at the start of the session as the players congratulated him on his contract renewal.

Injury list

With Chygrynskiy joining Dani Alves, Éric Abidal and Touré Yaya on the treatment table the youngsters joined in the preparations for the game against Atlético de Madrid at the weekend. Gerard Piqué will also be unable to play leaving Guardiola with a defensive conundrum and he will be hoping that Carles Puyol is fit as the club captain again trained on the sidelines.

Ovation for Jeffren

Jeffren enjoyed his moment in the spotlight at the start of training when the players welcomed him with a round of applause after he penned a new deal with the club that will see him stay at Camp Nou until 2012.
