The main news at the first Barca training after the team returned from Japan has been that FC Barcelona´s Mexican jewel Giovanni Dos Santos officially trained for the first time with the Barca squad at La Masia today.


Ronaldinho, with the permission of the club, has been given a day off after he appeared in zurich for the FIFAS Best Player. In addition, the team trained without 6 regular players: Deco, Márquez, Sylvinho, Oleguer, Edmílson and Zambrotta. The first 5 players worked out in the Gym while Zambrotta is sidelined with a torn muscle injury for about 1 month.


The training started at 12:00 and was quite smooth with mainly physical exercises to regenerate from the long and exhausting trip.


Bad news for Barca? The Dutch left full back Giovanni Van Bronckhorst left the pitch just minutes after after the training session at La Masia started. Gio left the pitch with a pain in his left thigh.
Barca´s doctors will examine the injury and will release a statement later.
