Alves back with the group

Dani Alves has handed Barcelona an early boost to end the year, by rejoining his teammates in training today.

The Brazilian has been out of action and working to a specific recovery programme since picking up a hamstring injury whilst on international duty in November.

On from missing four matches already, though, the full-back has today stepped up his recovery by rejoining his teammates in training.

Meanwhile, Xavi Hernandez, who missed the midweek Cup tie with Cartagena as a precaution due to overloading in his calf muscle, has worked to a specific routine today.
