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.
