After almost two months of inactivity at FC Barcelona's training complex, this Friday, members of the Barça first team returned to training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. They did so, however, following the protocols established by the Spanish football league in order to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Training was scheduled for 9:30am, and the players arrived at the facility in the suburb of Sant Joan Despí minutes earlier. All had entered the training complex already wearing their training gear, including gloves and masks, as established by the protocol.
Today's training session was the first on the pitch since 13th March.

"We've missed you," was the comment in the club's official tweet.
The footballers, working in individual training, filled the Tito Vilanova ground and also grounds 2 and 3, spread out widely in order to maintain safety distances.
