Just six players available for training

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has only been able to work with six players at the start of this week with so many of the first team away on international duty.

Victor Valdes, Pinto, Jorquera, Victor Sanchez, Sylvinho and Hleb have been the only players available to the coach although the rest will return during the week to prepare for the away game at Athletic Bilbao at the weekend.

Hleb is once again fit to play after he picked up an injury early in the season against Racing Santander. He has been able to train fully with his Barca team-mates.
