4. Showers in small groups
After training, players must shower in small groups in order to arrive at the Camp Nou in the best condition.
5. No team meals
The players have been used to eating all together after each training session but now they are no longer allowed to sit down as one big group.
6. Leave the training ground as soon as possible

The Italian government have said that businesses are not allowed to hold meetings. Instead, all meetings must be done via video links or on the phone. The same goes for Napoli.
