Also in were the two new Dutch signings -- Ludovit Reis and Mike van Beijnen and the players that were on loan elsewhere at the end of last season: Ballou (Albacete), Sergi Puig (Conquense), Calavera (Lleida) and Santi Bueno (Peralada).

Iñaki Peña, Oriol Busquets, Riqui Puig, Collado and Carles Pérez are training with the first team.
