Cesc, Alba, Iniesta, Pedro, Sergio, Alves, Adriano, Messi and Mascherano all did special recovery exercises, while Valdés, Piqué, Puyol, Villa and Alexis joined the regular session.

Pinto away and Dos Santos alone

Thiago, Song and Bartra were also back. The former pair had spent Tuesday and Wednesday in the gym, while Bartra has been suffering from a fever induced by a virus, but is now back to normal health.

The team will be given Friday off and will train again on Saturday as they fine tune preparations for the Sunday noon kickoff against Getafe (12.00, GolT, Canal+ Liga).
