After medicals last Friday, the FC Barcelona basketball squad carried out their first training session on Monday 1 September at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Ganper. Coach Joan Peñarroya marshalled the workout with new boys Will Clyburn, Myles Cale and Miles Norris all present. Furthermore, there was more positive news with the appearance of Nico Laprovittola and Juan Nuñez back with the squad after injury. 

With Juani Marcos absent on Americup duty with Argentina, beating finalists in the tournament, and Willy Hernangómez, Darío Brizuela, Joel Parra and Toko Shengelia all currently involved in the Eurobasket tournament, youth team players Sayon Keita, Diego Ferreras, Nikola Kusturica, Jakob Siftar, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje and Mohamed Dabone also took part in the session. 

The workout began with warm up exercises then moved on to gym work and then on the court for shooting practice. The youngsters did some tactical work with coach Peñarroya and sessions will continue on Tuesday afternoon before the team leaves for a preseason training camp in Andorra until 6 September and a benefit game against Paris.
