After the draw at San Mamés, Barça trained on Sunday morning in order to regain strength ahead of the game with Inter. Six important players were missing.
The plane from Bilbao landed in Barcelona at 1.30 last night, but by noon the players were together
again at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper for training as Guardiola turns his mind to the crunch
game on Tuesday against Inter.
Six missing
Josep Guardiola had to make do without Abidal and Touré, both out with
influenza A. Márquez was also out, and pending confirmation, may have the same illness.
Ibrahimovic, who is still sidelined with a muscle injury, was also absent, as was Piqué, who
worked out the gym.
But Leo Messi was also missing, having spent Sunday morning undergoing tests to find out how
serious the injury he sustained last night at
San Mamés actually is.
Gentle session for starters
The players that started the game last night concentrated on gentle
recovery. As usual for post-match sessions, these players went through a different and shorter
routine to their companions.
The reserve team players that also joined the squad in Bilbao, Fontàs and Jonathan dos
Santos, also joined in. Oier Olazábal, one of the Barça Atlètic goalkeepers, also participated.
