Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele train on their day off

Both players need to recover from injury and worked on that

Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele trained at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on Thursday, even though they and their team-mates were given the day off. Both are trying to work on recovering from respective injury problems.

On Wednesday Barca had a double training session and on Thursday the players were given time to themselves. They return on Friday to work ahead of the Sunday clash with Real Betis.

Suarez was injured in the 1-0 defeat by Athletic Bilbao on opening day. Dembele, meanwhile, suffered a relapse of an old hamstring injury during the session on Monday. He will miss five weeks.
