The players were back in training on Thursday morning just hours after securing a goalless draw in the Giuseppe Meazza. The session focussed on recovery exercises.
Thursday morning’s training session, which was directed
personally by Pep Guardiola, took place behind closed doors at the Club’s training grounds.
The players have just two days to prepare for Saturday’s important league clash with Atlético
Madrid.
Recovery exercises in the gym
Four of the players from Wednesday evening’s team - Víctor Valdés, Gerard Piqué, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Touré Yaya - stayed behind in the gym and did not take part in the session.
Recovery exercises on the pitch
Bojan and Milito are still recovering from injury and did not attend
the session. Meanwhile, Xavi, Puyol, Alves, Keita, Henry Messi and Abidal worked out separately
with one of the fitness coaches while the remaining members of the squad followed the regular
session.
