Double training session
Sandra Sarmiento / Vanessa Forns
FC Barcelona’s squad continued on their rigorous pre-season training regime on Wednesday as the players participated in the first of two session ahead of the Spanish Super Cup.
A total of 21 stars took to the pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper as the first leg
encounter with Sevilla on Saturday takes centre stage.
One a day
Wednesday is the only day when the squad will have a double training
session as they will only be called in once on Thursday, at 19:00, and then early on Friday, at
09:00, before travelling to Seville on Saturday where they will play at 21:30 in the Sánchez
Pizjuán.
Young guns
Many first-team regulars are away this week due to the round of
international friendly games and Pep Guardiola has only eight available so has again called upon
the youth ranks to add 13 names to the training sessions.
Physical side
The session on Wednesday morning began with the usual warm-up routines with the players all
wearing pulsometres. A circuit with various obstacles was set up and the players were tested for
their physical fitness and energy levels.
