Barça B players Riqui Puig, Miranda and Alex Collado, as well as the recently recovered Carles Aleña, all took part in the session alongside Lionel Messi, who wasn't part of the Argentina squad that drew with Colombia this week.
Once everyone's back, Barca face a grueling schedule of seven games in 23 days, playing against La Real, PSV, Girona, Leganés, Athletic, Tottenham and Valencia.
