Guardiola leads training ahead of Arsenal game

Tuesday at noon
The squad will have their usual matchday training session on Tuesday lunchtime at 12.00 behind closed doors at the Nou Camp. They will leave their hotel at about 11.00 and return for lunch before coming back to the ground in the evening.
Pep missed the final session before last Wednesday’s trip to the Mestalla, though he did make the game itself, and then spent five days in hospital receiving treatment for his bad back. He was discharged this morning and after speaking to the press this evening, he was back on the pitch with his players as they put the finishing touches to preparations for the big game against Arsenal.

19 first team players plus Thiago

Tactical work out

The players began the session at 18.00 with their usual warm up and possession exercises, before working on a number of tactics to help maintain possession under pressure and in reduced spaces, as well as some shooting practice.

No stay over for Guardiola
