Last session of the week

The first team have trained for the last time this week at the Ciutat Esportiva. Following a week in which international players have been gradually reporting back from World Cup duty, Xavi Hernández continued working with the players he has this Saturday with an eye on the imminent resumption of club competitions. 

The venue was pitch 2 at the Ciutat Esportiva, where the usuals were joined by Barça Atlètic goalkeeper Arnau Rafús. 

This week has seen the likes of Ter Stegen, Christensen, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Eric and Balde all reporting back for work.

More will be returning next week, with the New year's Eve fixture against Espanyol at Spotify Camp Nou drawing closer and closer by the day.
