Deco limped out of training on Thursday evening with some pain in his right leg after working with the first team for the last few days, despite not yet being given a clean bill of health.


The Portuguese midfielder was one of 21 first team players that took part in the session in front of La Masia. Only the injured trio of Lionel Messi, Oleguer Presas and Albert Jorquera were missing. The new faces from the day before were Touré Yaya and Gaby Milito, who had trained in the gym on Wednesday. Three B teamers were also present as Fali, Eneko and Víctor Vázquez joined in.

After the usual warm-ups, Deco withdrew withdrew because of the pain in his right leg. The former Porto star had been working with the first team since Sunday, despite the doctors not yet having said that he was fully fit.
