Injured players on road to recovery

Motta, Belletti and Edmílson, the injured first team players that have not made the trip to Egypt, visited the Camp Nou as usual this morning to continue their respective recovery programmes.

It was business as usual for these three players, while the rest of squad is off on an exotic trip to Cairo to face Al-Ahly. The trio underwent physiotherapy before working out on the Camp Nou turf.

Jogging for Motta

Thiago Motta, who has an Achilles tendon injury, followed his physiotherapy treatment with a session in the stadium accompanied by physio Francesc Cos, and he jogged up and down the pitch at a gentle pace for fifteen or so minutes.

Belletti coming on nicely

Belletti also received treatment in the changing rooms area before a short appearance on the Camp Nou pitch. The full back tore fibres in his right femoral biceps during the 1-0 win against Mallorca.

Edmílson at La Masía

Edmílson joined his two colleagues for medical treatment, before working out first in the stadium and later at La Masia. The Brazilian has injured the distal isquiotibial muscle in his right knee, and his work today consisted of circuit training and shots on goal.
