The coach is waiting for Gerard Deulofeu to join the working group

After the first session of the week he took a press conference

Barcelona have started their second week of work under Ernesto Valverde, with the team training on Monday morning. He had a big group at his disposal even without injured duo Gerard Deulofeu and Rafinha Alcantara. 

The coach is getting his players pumped up and in five days of training there will be 10 sessions. Deulofeu will be back soon but Rafinha will, in principle, not be going to the States as he continues his recovery from the knee injury he suffered last season. 

Youth players Ortola, Palencia, Alena, Cucurella and Vitinho were present, although Barcelona B's work with Gerard Lopez starts later on Monday.
