Recuperation session
Marc Guillén / Jordi Clos
Barça called upon the services of four youth team players to make up the numbers for their training session on Sunday morning as the focus turned to the visit of Inter in midweek.
Like always, the day after a game saw the players that were in the starting XI the day did not join
in with the full practice. Most of those players took to the field wearing trainers.
The coaching staff chose to concentrate on recuperation and building up
physical strength after a taxing game against Xerez while looking ahead to the midweek visit of
Inter. Pep Guardiola chose to hold the session behind closed doors.
Abidal and Iniesta
Éric Abidal and Andrés Iniesta, who both missed the match on Saturday
through injury, continued their respective recuperation programmes with fitness coaches on the
pitch at the complex in Sant Joan Despí.
Jordi Masip, Martí Riverola, Rafa Alcántara and Isaac Cuenca made up the quartet of
youngsters promoted to make up the numbers.
