Barcelona’s injury problems were relieved somewhat with the return of Adriano and Pedro Rodriguez to today’s training session.
La Blaugrana are missing a number of first-team names for the weekend match at home to Mallorca, but saw their Brazilian full-back and Spanish forward both rejoin the main group in Friday morning’s practice.
Adriano has been out of action since mid-March with a thigh strain, whilst Pedro has been out for 10 days with a slight calf strain suffered during the international break.
Javier Mascherano, Carles Puyol and Lionel Messi worked separate from the group today, as they continue respective recovery programmes.
