Barça has started to prepare for their visit to the Mestalla this Wednesday with defender Gerard Pique training again with the squad. Besides Pique, 18 available first team players exercised along with 4 from the reserves.

After a day off on Sunday, following the 8-0 win against Osasuna, the team trained this Monday morning at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. They have begun to prepare for a complicated visit to the field of Valencia whom they will face on Wednesday evening (22:00 hours). And the preparations included a significant piece of news: Gerard Piqué has worked with the group at full capacity.

The central defender for the blaugrana was injured on the 23rd of August, in a training session after the return leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Since then, Piqué has been training on his own until last Saturday, when he took part with the group in a small part of the session before the match with Osasuna.

In this manner, on pitch no. 2 in Sant Joan Despí 19 footballers from the first team (the 18 available and Piqué) have stepped onto the field, plus 4 from the reserves: Muniesa, Cuenca, Armando and Riverola.

Injured players Andrés Iniesta and Alexis Sánchez have worked on their recoveries on the sidelines.
