Barcelona returned to training on Tuesday afternoon after enjoying a few days off, but not everyone was in attendance.

Ernesto Valverde has given one more day off to the men in the dressing room who have the most minutes under their belts this season.

The players who were given an extra rest period by Valverde were Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto and Arturo Vidal.

Barcelona are in action on Wednesday night against Girona in the Catalan Super Cup.

Todibo could make his debut as a Blaugrana.
