Barca’s Henry and Iniesta back training

BARCELONA’S Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta continued their respective bids to be fit for the Champions League final as they returned to squad training yesterday, but not at the same intensity as their team-mates.

Barca’s Henry and Iniesta back training

The two attackers are coach Pep Guardiola’s big doubts heading into tomorrow’s European showpiece against Manchester United, but for the first time since suffering their injuries the pair completed training with the rest of the Barca squad in what was their final session before departing for Italy.

Striker Henry, who has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season, has been sidelined with a knee injury since Barca’s 6-2 win at Real Madrid at the beginning of the month, while influential midfielder Iniesta has been out with a thigh problem picked up a week later in the 3-3 draw against Villarreal.
