After the World cup break, Barcelona has begun to think about the resumption of La Liga at the end of the month.
On Monday morning, Xavi welcomed back numerous players putting Hector Bellerin, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto, and Inaki Pena through their paces.
Following his recovery from a dislocated shoulder, Roberto has been given the all-clear by the medical staff to play.
Franck Kessie and Ronald Araujo were both “out on the pitch battling to get back to full fitness” as both players return from injury.
Araujo has been training with Uruguay at the World Cup but is now back home after their group stage exit.
Barcelona’s next game back is not until December 31 when they take on Espanyol in La Liga but it’s expected the club will try to schedule some friendlies before the game at the Camp Nou.

The rest of the squad will return in the coming weeks.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen and Robert Lewandowski will be the next to arrive after also making an early exit from the World Cup.
Barcelona will hand all their World Cup stars some time off after the involvement in the tournament so they can get some rest before what promises to be a hectic second half of the season.
