Barça trained on the Nou Camp pitch on Monday evening ahead of their Champions League semi final second leg against Real Madrid and the great news for Guardiola was that Iniesta and Abidal trained normally and are in the squad for the game.

The squad
Valdés, Oier, Abidal, Puyol, Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Bartra, Fontàs, Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Thiago, Iniesta, Xavi, Keita, Pedro, Messi, Afellay, Villa and Jeffren.
It’s been just 46 days since Eric Abidal had surgery to remove a tumour in his liver on March 17th, but the doctors have given him the all clear and he is in the squad for Tuesday’s game after training normally with the rest of the players this evening. Andrés Iniesta, who missed the first leg in Madrid and the weekend’s defeat in Anoeta, is also fit and has been called up for tomorrow.

Applause for Abidal

Bojan also trained on the pitch, but apart from the rest of the group.

20 players called up

In all, 16 first team squad players have been called up, along with B team players Oier, Bartra, Thiago and Sergi Roberto , who all trained with the first team this Monday. Barça’s normal reserve keeper Pinto, is suspended for the game.

Once the session was over, the players and back room staff went off to the Hotel W, where they will all stay the night, before returning to the Nou Camp for a final training session at noon on Tuesday.
