Alexander Hleb trained on Friday morning on his won at La Masia. The Belarusian is still working on his recovery from injury.

Hleb, along with assistant coach, Tito Vilanova, and two first team fitness coaches, trained on Friday morning at La Masia, the first of two sessions he is going to have today. He is trying to recover as quickly as possible from a 2-3 degree sprain to ligaments in his left ankle and the third median of the same foot suffered against Racing on September 13.

Strength and resistance

The midfielder did circuit training as he tried to work on such aspects as strength and resistance. Hleb combined a series of different runs, jumps and crosses, always with the ball at his feet.

Thursday with group

Though taking extreme caution, Hleb took part in the Thursday training session at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper along with Barça Atlètic. Before that FC Barcelona’s Belarus international had travelled to his home country with a medical report as he met up with his national squad.
