Six first-team Barça players resume training under Xavi
Cantabrian Pablo Torre also trained with the senior men
FC Barcelona returned to training on Thursday with the few players that coach Xavi Hernández has at his disposal. The first FIFA matchday of the season took 18 players from 10 national teams, including the Spanish Under-21s, who called up goalkeeper Arnau Tenas and left-back Alejandro Balde.
Bellerín, Piqué, Ansu Fati, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto and Iñaki Peña were the first team players who stayed back and resumed training under Xavi. They were joined on pitch 2 of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper by another player who has been with the first team since pre-season: Pablo Torre.
Barça's next game is scheduled for 1 October against Mallorca in Palma, the seventh round of La Liga.
