Barcelona back in training on Monday as thoughts turn to Celta Vigo

Barcelona will return to training on Monday. With the majority of players having been away, or still away, with their national teams, thoughst are beginning to return to La Liga. 

After the win against Real Madrid last weekend, Barça have a four point lead at the top and they need to ensure they keep it that way. 

Luis Enrique will be hoping his players return fresh and that there is no "FIFA virus" as the club moves into the final stretch of the season. 

Next Sunday, April 5, the Catalans are in Vigo. 

With Lionel Messi spending time in the USA with Argentina and Neymar in London with Brazil, it may prove a more tiring journey than usual across to Galicia. 

On top of that, Celta have already proven themselves capable of beating Barça this season. 

The travelling party will depart Barcelona at 9.15am on Sunday morning, with the match kicking off at 9pm on the same day. 

Before then, though, there will be a week of training. 

On Monday those available will train at 6pm. But Jordi Alba definitely won't be there because of the injury he picked up in Spain's win over Ukraine. 

Training will continue throughout the week, with Wednesday the squad's designated day off.
