Final session before Tour

The squad had a final training session at Ciutat Deportivo this morning ahead of tomorrow’s start to the Asia Tour.

With the players due to fly out to Korea on Sunday afternoon, Guardiola had a final opportunity to put his players through their paces before the Tour begins.

Welcome and farewell

There were two contrasting faces of the game at the session, with Dani Alves welcomed back after his holiday and Rafa Marquez dropping by to say his farewells after the announcement of his move to the States.

Fitness and skills work

The session was split into two parts: the first focussing on fitness and the second on ball control and skills work, climaxing in a practice match. Andreu Fontàs and Víctor Vázquez both trained with the main group as their recovery from injury continues apace.
