After a few days working apart from the rest of the group, the club captain trained with the rest of the squad for a while this morning, as the players had their second session of the week at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, ahead of Saturday’s final league game in Malaga and the following weekend’s Champions League final.

All the first team squad came out for training with Gaby Milito and Carles Puyol joining in for a part of the session and youngsters Thiago, Bartra, Jonathan dos Santos, Sergi Roberto, Miño and Oier also joining in.
