Rafinha misses afternoon training session with Barcelona

Barcelona's central midfielder, Rafinha, was the biggest absentee from the first team squad's afternoon training session. Rafinha, who is carrying a slight knock, worked on an individual programme inside while the rest of his teammates were with Ernesto Valverde at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper de Sant Joan Despí.

Everybody else trained as normal ahead of next week's trip to the United States. Valverde had Palencia, Carles Pérez, Monchu, Abel Ruiz, Riqui Puig, Collado, Cuenca, Mingueza and Cucurella from Barça B working with the first team.

This Saturday the players will have a single training session before returning on Monday, for a double session, then fly out to America.
