Pep Guardiola has decided to leave Valdés, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Puyol and Piqué behind for the trip to Malaga for the last league game of the season. Injured Gaby Milito also misses the game.

Mascherano, Jeffren, Fontàs, Thiago, Jonathan dos Santos, Bartra and Sergi Roberto.
The players won’t be having a rest though, as they will be in for training at the Ciutat
Esportiva at 11.00 on Saturday for a session to be held behind closed doors as they begin
preparations for the Champions League final. Gaby Milito, who is still fighting to get back to full
fitness, will also stay behind in Barcelona and continue his treatment.
Puyol and Milito train with the rest of the squad
Both Carles Puyol, who has been working on his own over the last few weeks as he
fights to get fit, and Gaby Milito, were both training normally with the rest of the squad on
Friday morning, when B team youngsters Marc Bartra, Jonathan dos Santos, Thiago, Sergi Roberto and
keeper Oier also joined in.
Alves and Adriano in Brazil squad
The Brazilians Dani Alves and Adriano were also in training, after hearing that
they had both been called up into the Barzil squad for the games against Holland and Rumania on
June 4th and 7th.
