Recovery session at Bisham Abbey
Marc Guillén (enviat especial)
Following their pre-season opener against Tottenham, the squad had a recovery session at Bisham Abbey on Saturday morning and were given the afternoon off ahead of Sunday’s game against Al-Ahly.
The training session began at 11-30 local time and consisted of a few warm down exercises with only Alexander Hleb (ankle) and Márquez, Thierry Henry and Maxwell who all had physio sessions missing the workout.
Rhythm upped
The rest of the squad did a series of ball
control and stretching exercises before the coaches upped the rhythm a little with some sprinting
and ball retention.
Messi, who had been carrying a slight niggle, trained normally with the rest of the players.
Evening off
The technical staff decided to give the players a rest on Saturday evening and cancelled the
scheduled training session. Barca face Al-Ahly on Sunday, again at Wembley Stadium.
