Setien is preparing for his first game in charge against Granada on Sunday

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu dropped in on new first-team coach Quique Setien on Saturday as he prepared his players for Sunday's game against Granada at Camp Nou. 

In an explicit gesture of support towards the manager, Bartomeu turned up at the Ciudad Deportiva before training began for a brief chat with Setien. 

Barça trained on the Tito Vilanova pitch at 11am with an eye on Setien's first game in charge since he replaced Ernesto Valverde earlier this week. 

That game is against Granada on Sunday (9pm) in La Liga. Ibiza in the Copa del Rey follows on Wednesday before a tricky trip to Valencia next Saturday in the league.
