The leaders didn’t slip up and picked up three points against Celta Vigo on Wednesday night, albeit by the narrowest of margins. The day after defeating the Galicians, the players got straight back to training at the Ciutat Esportiva, with just two days before their next fixture, this Saturday at 4.15pm CET away to Getafe.

In Thursday’s session, those who played the most minutes did recovery and conditioning work to manage their workload, while the rest trained out on the pitch, including Tommy, Eder Aller, Cortés and Xavi Espart from the reserves. Also involved was João Cancelo, who had been substituted with discomfort in the first half but trained normally with his teammates today.

This was the first of just two training sessions ahead of the next match. The final session will be this Friday from around 4.15pm CET. Before that, at 2.30pm CET, Hansi Flick will speak to the media in his pre-match press conference.
