Barca’s second day of training was again dominated by physical exercises, sprinkled with some technical and tactical work.

The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper was again the scene for squad training as Guardiola put 24 players through their paces. Ten first team squad members (Pinto, Maxwell, Milito, Adriano, Víctor Sánchez, Keita, Hleb, Bojan, Ibrahimovic and Jeffren) were again joined by 14 Barca B players (Oier, Miño, Masip, Dalmau, Sergi Gómez, Armando, Muniesa, Riverola, Ilie, Sergi Roberto, Tello, Benja, Jonathan Soriano and Nolito), whilst Fontàs continued his recovery from a broken metatarsal, Víctor Vázquez worked on strength exercises in the gym and Jonathan dos Santos and Edu Oriol who both felt twinges, worked apart from the main group.

Physical exercises

The third pre-season session was mainly dominated by physical exercises, though Guardiola also took time to work on a few technical aspects such as defensive covering. The squad will report back for training this evening at 19.00.
