Bojan the first to return

Bojan Krkic is the first of the international contingent to resume training. The players are training in the Sports centre on Monday evening after a two-day break.

The first team is gradually getting back to normal activity after a week of international commitments that have deprived Frank Rijkaard of 13 of his players. Bojan Krkic was the first of the internationals to report back for training after playing for the Spain under-21 side on Friday and scoring a goal.

At the Sports Centre

Just as they did last week, the players trained together with the reserve squad at the Barça Sports Centre. Frank Rijkaard currently has just five senior squad players at his disposal for the first training session of the week: Valdés, Ezquerro, Sylvinho, Marc Crosas and Bojan.

Meanwhile, Oleguer and Jorquera stayed at the Camp Nou to work on their individual programmes.

Thiago trains

Youth squad player Thiago Alcántara – who made his debut with Barça B last Friday - also trained at the Sports Centre alongside the Barça B squad and the few available players from the first team. Barça B players Víctor Vázquez and Urbano also worked out for a short time apart from the main group.
