Training ahead of Osasuna game
Roger Bogunyà
The first team squad worked out at the Ciutat Esportiva this morning ahead of Wednesday’s game against Osasuna, with Xavi, Abidal and Pique all absent whilst Jonathan dos Santos from Barca Atletic again trained with the squad.
Xavi and Abidal continue their recovery from injury, whist Pique remains
doubtful for Wednesday. Guardiola will have to discard one of the 19 players who trained this
morning for the match when he announces his squad an hour before kick off on Wednesday, as Spanish
League rules only allow 18 players for a game.
Balmy
In contrast to the snow of a fortnight ago, the squad enjoyed a warm
morning for the session, with temperatures reaching a balmy 17ºC.
