Barcelona squad size?

Barcelona resumed full training today after
beating Getafe at the weekend in a topsy-turvy match that saw two Barca
defenders sent-off in the match. However, there were three notable
absences from the squad as the team took to the training pitch.

As reported by Sport, Dani Alves, Yaya Toure
and Carles Puyol, who was suspended for the Getafe match, are all
suffering from knocks and trained separately from the rest of the team.


Both Alves and Toure were injured in the Getafe match. Alves
was included in the starting line-up, but moments before the match was
withdrawn after reaggravating an injury that will now keep him out of
action for three weeks. Toure was substituted in the Getafe match and
will be out for 15 days.

Puyol trained apart from his
team-mates, but it is anticipated that the defender will join the rest
of the team in the coming days to prepare for Barca's next Liga
fixture. Barca travel to Madrid to take on Atletico de Madrid in the
Vicente Calderon next weekend.
