Back to work

A new week of training began on a sunny but very chilly Monday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva. 

After getting some time off on Saturday and Sunday, pitch 2 at the training ground was the venue for the first of this week's workouts, where Franck Kessie was among the players who were joined by Arnau Casas, Héctor Fort, Unai Hernández, Dani Rodríguez, Lamine Yamal and Ángel Alarcón of the youth team. 

Xavi Hernández is preparing the team for the return to action following the World Cup, with the derby with Espanyol at Spotify Camp Nou on New Year's Eve now very much on the horizon.
