Seydou Keita, Pedro Rodriguez and Eric Abidal, starters in the match against Valencia, missed today’s training as a precautionary measure, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who did not play in the Mestalla, made recovery exercises at the gym, according to Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo.

The team moved their training to the club’s Ciudad Esportivo in preparation for next Tuesday’s game against Rubin Kazan in the third round of the Champions League. The training, dedicated exclusively to muscle recovery, saw the rest of the 14 players named in the Valencia match present, including the 8 who was not fielded

Keita, Pedro and Abidal was excused because they had received knocks in last night’s match. Ibrahimovic meanwhile suffered a right knee problem and has been training in the gym doing physical strength recovery exercises. In any case, the physical problems of these four players will not prevent them from being available for the match against the Russian champion. The next team practice will be held on Monday at the Camp Nou in a session that will begin at 18:00hrs.
