Sunday training at the Nou Camp

The players will have a final session before the Bilbao game on Sunday at noon on the Nou Camp pitch, will be held behind closed doors.

Pep Guardiola was able to call on 18 of his first team squad for training on Saturday morning, including striker Villa who seemed to have fully recovered from the knock on his left ankle he was receiving treatment for on Friday. 

Sergi Roberto trains with the squad 
Two B team players, keeper Oier and midfielder Sergi Roberto, both joined up with the first team players on Pitch Number One at the Ciutat Esportiva. Sergi was given the medical okay on Tuesday after a muscle injury and after training with the first team on Friday, looks like he might make the final 19 for the Bilbao game.
