Week begins with return to training

A new week begins, and it's one in which the internationals will be gradually returning to club duty. So, after a few days of welcome rest, the squad are now back at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and preparing for the return to action. 

Next up is a trip to Balaídos on Saturday, and Hansi Flick will be well aware of the difficulty of taking on Celta at their home ground, where his team needs to get some points back on the board after losing their last fixture at Real Sociedad. 

Barça are currently top of the Liga table and doing well in Europe too, but there are three key games to get through before the end of the month, and the idea this week is to make sure that everyone is in the best possible condition to deal with the challenge.
