Xavi and Puyol, who missed training on Monday, were back on Tuesday for the session at the Camp Nou, but the injured Milito was absent.


The Champions League was back on everybody’s minds at the Camp Nou on Tuesday, with press conferences prior to the match with Copenhagen by Messi and Guardiola, and a training session on the stadium turf.

Xavi and Puyol back

Puyol was briefly sidelined with a groin strain, while Xavi is still not fully recovered from an injury to his Achilles tendon. But they were both able to come to the Camp Nou, and joined in with 100% of the exercises.

Thiago for Milito

But Gaby Milito was way after picking up an injury on Monday that sees him out for two weeks. Guardiola decided it would be a good idea to bring in reserve Thiago Alcántara to bolster the squad

Guardiola gets involved

Off to Hotel W

As usual for European fixtures, the players are all staying together at Hotel W in Barcelona. On Wednesday at 12.00, they will have one last training session at the Camp Nou before returning to the hotel. They then have to report to the Camp Nou again at 18.30 for the final preparations for the game with Copenhagen.
