The centre back is overcoming his problems and was able to join in with some of Friday morning’s training session.
Barça had the first of two training sessions at 9.00 this morning, featuring the same 14 players as
on Thursday plus Gerard Piqué, who was involved in some of the group work. Barça B’s Martín
Montoya and Jonathan Dos Santos also joined in.
Meanwhile, Sergio Busquets worked out in isolation as he recovers from a knock, but
Xavi Hernández trained as normal.
New session tomorrow
The next training session will be on Saturday morning. Afterwards, Josep Guardiola
will speak to the press ahead of the Spanish Supercup, and then the team will be travelling to
Madrid.
