EFE | BARCELONA.- The Barcelona team trained this week, for
the first time, with all of its international players, as it was only yesterday
that the last 7 missing players returned from their stints with their
respective national teams.
Marc-André Ter Stegen, from Germany, Jasper

from Chile, trained today with the rest of their teammates for their League
match against the Sevilla, the current leading team.
During the morning training sesión, Barça B
players Riqui Puig, Oriol Busquets, Juan Miranda and Juan Brandáriz “Chumi”
also participated, alongside the rest of their teammates.
Real Madrid isn’t worried
The return of all the international players,
after their stint with their respective national teams, alongside the presence
of Welshman Garteh Bale, also kicked off the Real Madrid training season, their
fourth one, which aims to prepare them to face the Levante team in tomorrow’s
League match.
Like this, Costa Rican Keylor Navas,
Belgium-born Thibaut Courtois, Frenchman Raphael Varane, Brasilian Casemiro,
German Toni Kroos and Uruguay-born Fede Valverde, finally got the chance to
train with their teammates.
The best news for technician Julen Lopetegui
was seeing French-born Karim Benzema and Bale finishing their preparatory
phase.
Alavés pays a visit to Celta de Vigo
A fully prepared Alavés Sport Club will face
off against the Celta de Vigo in a match that will, today, open the ninth
season of the Spanish League in Balaídos. The Galician team will face a
fully-trained Alavés, which hopes to end a streak of bad results that have left
Argentinian technician Antonio Mohamed in a difficult position. Abelardo
Fernández fantastic team’s dynamics have resulted in a single loss for his
team, out of the past five matches – a great contrast when compared to the
Celta’s records, which has not had a single win in the same period of time.
