FC Barcelona continued their preparations for the visit of Getafe on Saturday in wintry conditions as coach Pep Guardiola again called upon the services of youth team starlet Albert Dalmau.

With rain pouring down the players were put through their paces at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper as they look to maintain their unbeaten record in la Primera when Míchel's Geta outfit go to Camp Nou.

One out

Marc Muniesa was the only player not to be present on Thursday from the squad that trained the day before, but Dalmau was again asked to work with the first-team to continue gaining invaluable experience at the highest level. With Éric Abidal and Dani Alves carrying slight knocks and Carles Puyol being suspended, the youngster may have a chance of making an appearance at the weekend.

Abidal and Alves

Alves continued his recuperation from a twinge in his calf, while Abidal combined his special recovery programme with some training with the rest of the squad.
