The eight FC Barcelona players that won the World Cup last month trained on Tuesday evening alongside Lionel Messi, Éric Abidal, Martín Cáceres and a selection of players from the club’s impressive B team.

After returning from a late holiday earlier this week the Spain stars are working hard to rediscover their rhythm and fitness as the rest of the squad are some time ahead of them in the schedule.

Eight and seven others

While the remainder of the squad had the evening off the World Cup winners were put through their paces Víctor Valdés, David Villa, Sergi Busquets, Pedro, Andrés Iniesta, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué and Xavi were joined by the youth team starlets.

Goalkeepers Oier Olázabal and Rubén Miño were joined by Andreu Fontàs and Víctor Vázquez as coach Pep Guardiola continues to look to give the young players more and more experience at the highest level.

Pinto recovering

José Manuel Pinto worked on his own once again as he looks to recover from a muscle injury that kept him out of the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup encounter with Sevilla at the weekend.
