Semedo took part in the session before the team head to the USA
Jordi Alba was allowed not to participate for personal reasons
Nelson Semedo was the big news from Wednesday morning's training session taken on by FC Barcelona. The defender met his team-mates and got into action for the first time after joining the club from Benfica.
The Portuguese has spent a few days in the Algarve before linking up with Ernesto Valderde's side, but gave up the rest of his holidays so he could go on the club's USA tour. He played in the Confederations Cup with Portugal so had more time off.
In the training session Jordi Alba was not present, with the club allowing him the morning off for personal matters, while Ortola, Ezkieta and Carles Alena from Barcelona B were present.
