Monday morning recovery session
After the defeat at Real Sociedad, Hansi Flick regathers his troops in a week when many of the biggest names are going to be away on international duty
The FC Barcelona squad gathered this Monday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper to go through the usual post-match recovery routine, but in a more despondent mood that usual after the 1-0 reverse on Sunday night at the Reale Arena. Pitch 2 was the venue, but with several absentees who have left to join their respective international camps.
This time there are seven members of the first team away representing their countries, namely Pedri, Dani Olmo, Marc Casadó (Spain), Pablo Torre (Spain U21), Raphinha (Brazil), Frenkie de Jong (Netherlands) and Kounde (France).
However, due to fitness concerns, none of Lamine Yamal (Spain), Lewandowski (Poland) or Héctor Fort (Spain U19) will be away as originally planned.
