Marc Guillén / Anna Segura
Leo Messi missed this morning’s training session with fever. The Argentinean passed a difficult night and after doctors visited him, it was decided that he should miss training.
The squad were back at the Ciutat Esportiva following last night’s win over Malaga and the
winning of the honorific title of Winter Champions to prepare for Wednesday’s Cup game
against Betis in Seville.
Bout of fever
The session began at 11.00 without Leo Messi, who suffered a bout of fever during
the night and was examined by doctors on his arrival at the Ciutat Esportiva before being sent
straight back home. Dani Alves was also missing following the injury he picked up against Malaga.
Photo shoot with USAP
The squad posed for a photo on pitch number 1 with the USAP Perpignan
rugby team before the start of the session, which was open to the media for the first quarter of an
hour. The session saw the players involved in last night’s game training more gently, whilst
the rest of the squad began more vigorous preparations for the Cup game at the Benito Villamarin on
Wednesday.
The players will be back for another session on Tuesday at 11.00.
