Ibrahimovic and Abidal train without problems
Jordi Clos
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Éric Abidal trained without any problems alongside the rest of the FC Barcelona squad as they continued preparations for the derby encounter with Espanyol.
Thursday may have been about recovery, but on Friday the focus was on Saturday night's game in the
new stadium at Cornellà-El Prat. The session was held behind closed doors at Barça's Ciutat
Esportiva Joan Gamper complex.
20 players
Under a light drizzle the 20 first-team players were put through their
paces having visited the funeral parlour in Terrassa to pay their condolences to fitness coach
Frances Cos who lost his mother recently.
The main absentee from training has been Andrés Iniesta, who is still sidelined through
injury, while no youth team players were called upon. All the exercises were focussed on the game
against Espanyol.
