Double training session for latest arrivals

Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano and Leo Messi had their second training session of the day this evening re-joining the rest of the squad. The three worked out in Pitch Number 1 at the Ciutat Esportiva accompanied by trainers Rafel Pol and Edu Pons, after training with the rest of the players this morning.

Neymar, who also returned to the Club this morning, worked on specific fitness routines after earlier in the day Club Doctors gave him a check up on the back injury he picked up at the World Cup.

Adriano Correia, Jérémy Mathieu and Xavi Hernández were also training apart as part of their recovery programmes and will also miss the trip to Geneva for tomorrow’s game.
