Ivan Rakitic misses Barcelona training with fever
The Croatian could sit out the trip to Huesca on Saturday
Midfielder Ivan Rakitic didn't train on Friday ahead of this weekend's game against Huesca due to having a fever. The Croatian, therefore, is unlikely to play on Saturday.
Lionel Messi, who didn't train on Thursday after taking a whack to the facr against Manchester United, did train normally but Ernesto Valverde's suggested he could be rested, too.
Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez are also suspended for the trip to Huesca, while Rafinha and Thomas Vermaelen are still injured and not training.
Messi still has signs of his clash with Chris Smalling on his nose and on his cheek under his left eye, although the bruising has gone down.
BARÇA B
Once again, coach Ernesto Valverde called on seven Barça B players to complete the session. At least one of them is likely to be called up this weekend as only 17 first team players are available.
Goalkeeper Tenas, defenders Wague and Miranda, midfielders Oriol Busquets, Riqui Puig and Collado, and forward Abel Ruiz all took part.
