Xavi's pupils have returned to training this Tuesday after a day of rest.

FC Barcelona's first team returned to training yesterday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper after resting on Monday. Xavi Hernandez's players, after the draw against Rayo Vallecano (0-0) last Saturday at the Spotify Camp Nou, face a long week with four work sessions. The next league tie is on Sunday 21 at the Reale Arena against Real Sociedad.

The closed doors session, which took place at the Tito Vilanova pitch, had all available players. Pedri, who finished the opening match with discomfort in the adductor muscle of his right leg was present. So was Ivorian midfielder Kessie who ended the game with some discomfort in his ankle.

The training session was very intense and the focus was on ball mobvement speed, one of the concerns in the match against Rayo Vallecano.

This will be the first away game of the season, taking FC Barcelona to San Sebastian. In their last meeting, Barça took all three points at the Reale Arena thanks to a solitary goal by Aubameyang in the 11th minute, assisted by Ferran.

FC Barcelona's regime for the week is training at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper today, Wednesday and Thursday from 7 p.m., rest on Friday and a final training session on Saturday from 9.30 a.m. at the same venue.

Before the league match against Valladolid (Sunday 28 at 19.30 at the Spotify Camp Nou) they will face Manchester City in a charity match to raise funds for ALS research.
