Back at work

Monday was back-to-work day, with Hansi Flick and his men needing to prepare for the upcoming originally postponed Liga fixture against Osasuna, which comes right on the back of an international break. Spain U21 internationals Pablo Torre, Fermín and Gerard Martín were back, having been granted special permission to skip the second friendly the national team are playing this week. 

Following some very wet weather across Catalonia, today there was blue sky against at last as the team worked out, joined by Alexis Olmedo and Rubén López of Barça Atlètic.

The other internationals are still away and will be gradually returning as the days tick by, with work to do once they are back, for not only is there the game with Osasuna on Thursday but also a match with Girona at the weekend.
