Xavi Hernández is focusing all his efforts on Sunday's derby against Espanyol. Barcelona are looking to put the finishing touches to their LaLiga Santander conquest after returning to training on Saturday morning in the last session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper before the clash. With one piece of good news: the return of Sergi Roberto. 

In addition, youth team players Diego Kochen, an American goalkeeper, and Gerard Hernández also took part. 

Meanwhile, there was applause and the usual tunnel for Frenkie de Jong, who turned 26 on Friday. He is aiming for a starting place on Sunday. 

 

Xavi brought back the only player who had been out at the end of the season, too. Sergi Roberto, recovered from his injury, trained normally to face the crucial match at the RCDE Stadium, so everything points to him returning to the squad this weekend.
