Barça trains anew minus those players on international duty

For the third time this week, FC Barcelona held a smaller-than-normal training session due to the number of players away on international duty. Head coach Ernesto Valverde oversaw Thursday’s workout with all available players, plus the Barça B player Riqui Puig.

The team, as usual, played games of keep-away and worked on shooting.

Later on Thursday, several of the international players make their first appearances during this hiatus, including Ousmane Dembélé, Samuel Umtiti, Marc-André ter Stegen, Jasper Cillessen, and Ivan Rakitic.
