Gerard Pique sits out Barcelona training on Sunday with thigh problem
The defender picked up the knock against Athletic as a result of playing too much
Barcelona Gerard Pique was the most high profile absence from Sunday's training session at the Ciudad Deportiva de Sant Joan Despi. The Catalan was taken off against Athletic Club on Sunday with a thigh problem.
Pique didn't take part in the recovery session which the rest of the first team session did. The session was marked by Neymar's 25th birthday, but also by the absence of Rafinha, who broke his nose against Athletic, and the presence of Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta, who are hoping to be cleared fit for Tuesday's Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Centre-back Pique could miss the Atletico gamae if he doesn't train on Monday with the group. Luis Enrique, however, didn't give too much importance to the problem and hopes he will have him back -- although he did admit he's played too many minutes recently.
Barça will train again on Monday and Luis Enrique will speak to the press afterwards.
