Nine from FC Barcelona B join Wednesday training

Barça returned to the training ground on Wednesday morning after the 4-0 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach the night before.

Because despite ending the Champions League in such spectacular fashion, there is the no-small matter of a trip to Pamplona this Saturday at 1.00pm CET, when the Catalans will be looking to make up for lost Liga ground after a run of three consecutive draws.

With Osasuna now fully on their minds, the Barça squad assembled on pitch two at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, where the players that started against Gladbach went through their recovery routine while the others trained normally.

Luis Enrique called on the services of nine B team members to boost the numbers on a cold but sunny morning: Mujica, Kaptoum, Carbonell, Borja López, Aleñá, Marc Cardona, Nili, Alfaro and Sarsanedas.

The team have been given a day off on Thursday and will be due back for another training session on Friday at 5.00pm CET, after which they’ll be flying northwest to Navarra.
