If the beginning of this Friday's training session was all positive, after a number of exercises Pep Mel suffered the first setback, as Xavi Torres withdrew from the group activity after feeling a slight pain in the fibula tendon. This discomfort in the calf area manifested itself in the early stages of training, hence the presence of Valencian midfielder on the pitch at the Luis del Sol Training Centre lasted only a few minutes. The latest addition to the green-and-white team in the last transfer window was immediately taken inside as a precautionary measure to prevent the problem from getting worse.
