Xavi and Nosa continue working with the group, Perquis unable to train

The fullback suffers a contusion to the inside of his left calf.

After yesterday's day off the team has returned to work at the Training Centre to prepare for the last match of the season against Real Valladolid. Nosa and Xavi Torres continue to train with the rest of the group in which the first part of the session was purely physical, followed by exercises with an emphasis on the ball. 

The only absentee was Perquis who did not step on to the turf with the rest of his teammates. The full-back suffers a severe contusion to the inside of his left calf and remained indoors with the physiotherapists. Meanwhile, Chuli did set foot on the training pitches to work with Fran Molano, whilst Amaya and Nacho continue with their respective recovery plans. In terms of the apprentices Pedro, Pibe, Braganza, Pozo and Dani Ceballos trained once again under the orders of Gabi Calderón. 

In addition to Monday's good news that Nosa has now returned to group training, yesterday the player found out that Stephen Keshi, the Nigerian manager, has included the midfielder amongst the 30 preselected players for the Brazil World Cup which will start on 13th June. However, this list is not definitive as the Nigeria manager will have to discard seven players prior to the start of the competition.
