This Thursday morning at 9 am, FC Barcelona’s players returned to work on pitch no. 2 of the Ciutat Esportiva, continuing with their preparations to face the start of the 2012-13 season in the best possible condition.

Tito Vilanova had at his disposal the 12 available footballers from the first team and eight from Barça B (Oier, Sergi Gómez, Planas, Sergi Roberto, Ilie, Rafinha, Kiko Femenía, and Lobato). Similar to the previous training sessions this week, Villa, Fontàs, and Alves joined in with the group under the watchful eyes of the medical professionals. Thiago and Cuenca continued doing specific recovery work on their own.

After two days of double sessions, the group will have this afternoon off, but will return for a double session again on Friday, at 9 and 19:00 hours.
