Last workout of the week
Xavi Hernández and the team train on pitch number 3
The Barça players that are not away on international duty trained one final time on Friday before taking the weekend off. The venue was pitch number 3 at the Ciutat Esportiva, featuring just six members of the senior squad together with Jordi Escobar, Zacarías Ghailán and Nils Mortimer of Barça B and Txus Alba of the U19A side.
The team will now rest on Saturday and Sunday and are due back for work on Monday at 6.00pm CET, once again at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The players that are away with the national teams will be returning home at various points during the week ahead, ready to prepare for the deby against Espanyol.
