Puyol is recovering from a hamstring tear in the middle of the right leg outside their peers and Mascherano has a fever.
Barcelona have started to prepare the return of the second round of the Copa del Rey, who played Wednesday in San Mames, with the presence of Lionel Messi, who has returned to training after a few days to enjoy the holiday rest of his teammates.
Messi has been the main novelty of a session in which holders who won on Sunday Levante (2-1) took up work and the rest of the squad was brought more sharply, already thinking about the match against Athletic Bilbao.
Puyol is recovered outside their peers and Mascherano has a fever
Defender Carles Puyol, set low to the Levant by a hamstring tear in the middle of the right leg, has done restoration work apart from their peers.
Midfielder Javier Mascherano has been featured in the Sports City with a few tenths of foot and club doctors have prescribed some antibiotics and sent back home, so it has not been trained.
First team coach, Pep Guardiola, has cited for this first week's training to five players from Barça B: Thiago, Bartra, Oier, Planas and Victor Vazquez. Some of them could come into the squad for the Cup game
