Last session of the week

FC Barcelona’s first-team enjoyed their last training session of the week on Friday after what have been an unusual few days thanks to the international break leaving just six players.

The stars that have remained took to pitch 2 at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and were again joined by a couple of youngsters as Albert Dalmeu and Martí Riverola were promoted from the Juvenil A squad.

Luis Enrique’s side welcomed the six first-team players on Thursday, but a day later the coach was keen to work with only his squad as they prepare for the game against Logroñes on Sunday, at 5pm.

Training programme

After the familiar warm-up routines and practices the squad went through a circuit without a ball to improve fitness and physique. Then a small-sided game was played on a reduced pitch with the player split into two teams with the keepers playing as defenders. Crossing and shooting followed to close the session.

Three days off

Now the players will enjoy three days break after coach Pep Guardiola told them that they do not have to return until Tuesday. That practice session will take place at 6pm.
