Barcelona trio in training today despite Xavi giving the day off – report

Following their goalless draw on Sunday night, Barcelona players did some light recovery on Monday, before being given the day off by manager Xavi Hernandez for Tuesday.

Despite having the day off, three Barça stars, Pedri, Clement Lenglet, and Ferran Torres, have shown up at the club’s facilities to train today, reports David Ibanez.

Barcelona began their campaign on a disappointing note, with their first match ending in a 0-0 draw, while Raphinha and manager Xavi Hernandez were both shown red cards.

The Blaugrana are scheduled to play Cadiz next at home and the players will restart training tomorrow after today’s rest granted by manager Xavi.

Training on an off day

In spite of that, Pedri, Ferran, and Lenglet have shown up to train on their own accord today.

Pedri is an integral part of Xavi’s team and went on to play 80 minutes during the match against Getafe on Sunday night, before making way for Ansu Fati.

As for Ferran, the 23-year-old enjoyed a promising pre-season during which he scored goals in plenty but was not called on by the manager against Getafe.

With Raphinha suspended, though, Torres’ chances to feature increase, and his showing up to train voluntarily on an off day indicates his motivation to make the most of any chance that could come his way.

Lenglet, on the other hand, has not played a single minute in pre-season and is not registered with the first team either, with Barcelona keen on offloading him at the earliest.

The 28-year-old has been training to keep himself in shape for his next move, which could be to Al Nassr, with an important summit set to take place tomorrow to discuss his future.
