The squad had a day off on Sunday, but Pep Guardiola called his players in for the first training session of the international break on Monday. In the absence of eleven current internationals, the group for the workout comprised Philipp Lahm, Franck Ribéry, Xabi Alonso, Javi Martínez, Sebastian Rode, Rafinha, Serdar Tasci, Sven Ulreich, Tom Starke and junior team keeper Christian Früchtl. Arjen Robben, Jérôme Boateng and Holger Badstuber were still absent injured, while Spanish defender Juan Bernat completed a solo session in the performance centre.
