Joint training session with Barça Atlètic

Despite the break for international matches, the available first team players worked out at the Ciutat Esportiva on Wednesday alongside the Barça Atlètic squad. The first team players not on international duty trained alongside Rafa Márquez's men as the latter prepare for Saturday's league game at Sabadell, kick off 7pm CET. 

For Xavi Hernández missing from the session were those first team members called by their national sides: Marc ter Stegen (Germany), Lewandowski (Poland), Gavi and Balde (Spain), Kessie (Ivory Coast), Christensen (Denmark) and Kounde (France). 

Xavi and Rafa Márquez on course for success

Both the first team coach and the Barça Atlètic coach were present for the session. Both squads are having excellent seasons with Xavi Hernández's team top of La Liga and Barça Atlètic on an unbeaten run of six matches which has taken them into contention for a play off place in Group 2 of the Primera RFEF.
