The FC Barcelona squad arrived back from Santander on Wednesday at midday and travelled straight to the Ciutat Esportiva for a training session.
Having left Cantabria earlier than expected Pep Guardiola and his places were back at Barcelona Airport at 11.45am and were then taken to Sant Joan Despí where they underwent a recovery session. The first team were joined by young starlets Miquel Ángel Luque, Jordi Masip and Marc Bartra.
Slow pace
All the players that began the game in El Sardinero the evening before
trained at a slow pace as they all took to the pitch apart from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who underwent
tests on his ankle injury, and Dani Alves, who worked on his own. The rest of the squad worked at
the usual rhythm.
Barça's next match is on Saturday, September 26, at 8pm (CET) against Málaga in La Rosaleda. In preparation, Guardiola will hold training session on Thursday afternoon and then Friday morning.
Estudiantes study
Throughout the week the Estudiantes de la Plata youth team have trained in the Ciutat Esportiva
Joan Gamper and played friendlies against the Barça sides of the same age. On Wednesday the
visiting players were allowed to watch the first team squad and they were able to see compatriot
Lionel Messi in person.
