Everyone going to Sevilla

Pep Guardiola will take his entire squad to Sevilla at the weekend with FC Barcelona seeking a crucial win in the title race at the Ramón Sánche Pizjuán.

The crunch encounter in the Andalucian capital could see Barça reclaim the title and all 21 first-team players that are fit have been joined by young Thiago Alcántara and also injured duo Andrés Iniesta and Éric Abidal who have travelled despite not being able to play.

Recovery programme

Gerard Piqué worked away from the rest of the squad on Friday morning as he battles to shake off bruising to the back of his right leg after suffering a blow during the game against Tenerife in midweek.

Without the central defender or Iniesta able to train, Guardiola called up Alcántara once again to make up a group of 20 players for the session.

Good atmosphere

There was a jovial atmosphere as the players trained, but the work-out was a serious one and ensured that everyone knew their roles for the game on Saturday evening.
