The presence of midfielder Frenkie de Jong in training for the second consecutive day is one of the great news for Xavi Hernández, who had six youngsters from the reserve team for Friday's session.
De Jong has missed the team's last two games, in Mallorca and in Milan against Inter, due to a hamstring problem that occurred in a game with the Oranje team.
Despite the good news regarding De Jong, Xavi is awaiting the evolution of the rest of the injured -Memphis Depay, Bellerín, Koundé, Araujo, Christensen and Kessie- and only the French central defender could be available for the Clásico at the Bernabéu in next week.
To make up for the loss of personnel, Xavi Hernández has summoned Barça Atlètic players Marc Casadó, Txus Alba, Chadi Riad, Barberà, Román Vega and Pelayo to training this Friday.
The Barça team will train tomorrow Saturday at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper (11:00 CET) and later Xavi Hernández will offer a press conference (13:00 CET). The Catalans take on Celta on Sunday at the Spotify Camp Nou (9:00 p.m. CET).
