Barcelona have officially kicked off preparations for their first game back at Spotify Camp Nou this Saturday against Athletic Club , with kick-off scheduled for 4:15pm CET. Softfootball reports that Hansi Flick's squad returned to action at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper following a four-day break, with all eyes on securing a winning return home in La Liga.
The first session saw players who weren't on international duty step onto the pitch. Szczesny, Joan Garcia, Eric, Gerard Martin, Casado, Balde, Dro, Tommy Marques, Guillem Victor, Jofre, and Toni Fernandez were all involved, alongside Raphinha, who returned to group training for the first time since September.
One notable absentee was Marc Bernal, who was attending Tuesday's friendly between Catalonia and Palestine as revealed by Barcelona in a post made via their official X account.
