After the voluntary training session prepared by the coaching staff yesterday attended by the majority of the first team, the squad had a double training session today. After the first session this morning the team returned to the Training Centre this afternoon for a closed session. Four players did not participate on the pitch this morning. 

The worst news was concerning Piccini. The player underwent a bone scan which revealed that he has a vertebral edema in the left pedicle of lumbar 5. The player was injured in the match against Ponferradina and a variety of tests that have been done since then have confirmed this diagnosis. The wing-back will have to rest for three weeks before starting to build up his work load progressively. For his part, Lolo Reyes continues to rest without training, pending developments. Álex Martínez was also absent but his injury is progressing; however, but he will not be available for the match against Girona.

Xavi Torres did not train on the pitch at the Training Centre as he is still following an individual work plan.
