UEFA doctors pay surprise visit

.UEFA doctors paid a surprise visit to Barça’s training this morning and carried out routine drug tests on ten Barça players. This is the second time Barça have received one of UEFA’s routine visits this season, after three last year.

The 10 players tested were Messi, Afellay, Xavi, Villa, Jeffren, Piqué, Pinto, Iniesta, Víctor Valdés and Mascherano.

The squad continued preparations for Saturday’s La Liga game against Getafe and were boosted by the reappearance of the Brazilians Alves and Adriano, who have been training apart since they both picked up knocks against Seville last Sunday.

Maxwell and Pedro are both doubtful for the Getafe game, whilst Messi is still getting over the bang on the knee he picked up last weekend and his availability will depend on the progress he makes over the next couple of days.

19 players
