The Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that English striker Marcus Rashford did not attend the Joan Gamper Sports City during the training session two days before the match against Athletic Bilbao at Spotify Camp Nou.

German coach Hans Flick led the first training session after the players returned from the international break. However, Rashford was one of the most notable absentees, and the reason for his absence was not disclosed. Club sources confirmed that it is nothing serious. Rashford had participated with the England national team against Serbia and Albania during the international break, making positive contributions in both victories.

On the other hand, Pedri is still out of the squad, while Lamine Yamal continues to train gradually with the team. Meanwhile, Raphinha and Marc Casadó appeared to be in good condition ahead of Saturday's match.

The session also saw the participation of youth category players, in addition to Ronald Araújo, who arrived in the morning directly from the Uruguay national team camp to join the training under the supervision of Hans Flick.
