Light session before game
David Saura (special correspondent) / Anna Segura
The first team trained this morning at Washington University in Seattle in their last session before the Seattle Sounders game.
As they did before the Los Angeles Galaxy game, Barça had a lighter session this Wednesday morning
in Seattle. In cold conditions Josep Guardiola’s men trained at Washington University.
Tactics
Josep Guardiola worked on tactics with his players. He focussed on positional play
in defence and the team practised set piece defending.
The squad split into two for this, with half doing the set piece moves and the other half
playing keep ball.
Medical report
As on Tuesday Valdés, Ibrahimovic and Iniesta trained apart from the rest of the
squad. Valdés is practically ruled out of the Seattle Sounders game with a knee problem, while
Ibrahimovic can train but not play. Iniesta spent the morning in the gym to get back into shape
after a virus.
