Final session of the week

Sunday brought the fifth and final workout of the first week back for Ronald Koeman and his players at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. With a number of Barça B players joining the senior squad again, they took to pitch 2 at around 9.15 am local time. Under intense heat, they combined fitness circuits with passing and positional exercises with the ball.

Philippe Coutinho also made an appearance on the field, while Ansu Fati stayed in the gym, as both players continue their recovery programmes.

The team will now take Sunday off, and will be back at the training ground on Monday at 9.15 am local time to prepare for a week that includes the first two preseason friendlies against Gimnàstic Tarragona on Wednesday and Girona on Saturday.
