www.fcbarcelona.cat
The squad will be back in training on Monday to prepare for two more vital league games this week, with the visit of Deportivo on Wednesday and the short trip across town to play Espanyol on Saturday night.
The players are enjoying a well earned day off after last night’s win at the Bernabeu, but
they will be back under Guardiola’s orders on Monday with the games against Deportivo and
Espanyol the first of seven hurdles to be cleared in the hunt for the league title.
Three days to prepare for Deportivo
The squad will train on Monday and Tuesday mornings at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and
Guardiola will hold a press conference after Tuesday’s session. The squad will keep to their
usual match day routine on Wednesday and train behind closed doors at the Nou Camp at 12-30. The
players will then have lunch together and have the afternoon free before returning to the Nou Camp
at 20.15 ahead of the 22.00 kick off.
Derby clash
There’ll be no time to celebrate, or lament, the Deportivo result, as Thursday sees the
squad come together at 11.30 in the Ciutat Esportiva to prepare Saturday’s city derby against
Espanyol. Friday’s session is set for a half hour earlier and then on Saturday the players
will be at the Nou Camp for a final training session at noon. The squad will then meet up at 18.00
at the Nou Camp and 35 minutes later the team coach will take them across town to Cornella for the
20.00 kick off.
The squad will train at the Ciutat Esportiva at 12.00 on Sunday.
