Barça were back in training this morning as they prepared for Sunday night’s game against Mallorca at the Nou Camp. Xavi, with tendon problems, was the only player missing from the session.

After Thursday’s rest day, following the draw in Kazan on Wednesday night, the squad trained this morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash with Mallorca.

The whole squad were present for training, with just Xavi Hernadez, who was left out of Spain’s squad for next week’s internationals, missing as he worked to recover from his tendonitis problems.
