After a day off, the first team returned to training today at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper. The main news was the return to action of Bojan Krkic.

Having won the midweek Champions League match with Dynamo Kiev, Josep Guardiola decided to give his men a rest. But on Thursday it was back to work to start thinking about Saturday’s match at the Camp Nou against Almería.

All eyes were on Bojan Krkic, who was back with the others for the session that got under way at 10.30 in the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper. He joined in with all the exercises for the first time since tearing fibres in his left thigh on August 31 against Sporting Gijón.

Henry partly involved

Thierry Henry was also making a comeback. The Frenchman has got over the first phase of his recovery and started the session with the rest of the group. Having pulled a muscle in his left thigh, Henry was sidelined for the Champions League meeting with the Ukrainians.

Jonatan Soriano for first time

Josep Guardiola also continued with his practice of involving reserve team players in his work. Today there were chances for Bartra, Gai, Edu Oriol, Muniesa, Sergi Roberto and Jonatan Soriano. For the latter, this was the first time he has trained with the first team.
