"However, as reported by SPORT, Marc Casado was seen showing up for training today, even on a day when all Barcelona players were given an off. Casado voluntarily showed up to the Ciutat Esportiva at nine in the morning, choosing to dedicate the day to extra work rather than rest. He changed into his kit and went out onto the pitch to complete recovery and maintenance exercises."
"Casado's commitment is not surprising, as he has reportedly responded admirably to everything Hansi Flick has asked of him in recent weeks. For the German coach, while respecting mandatory rest periods is essential, he greatly appreciates that players like Casado decide to train on their own initiative."
"The squad will officially return to collective training on Monday to begin preparations for the crucial November 22 match against Athletic Club. Due to the international schedule, several international players will not yet be available, meaning it could prove to be a great opportunity for Casado to continue his starting role in the Barcelona team."
Many Barcelona players are representing their nations during the November international break and others are sidelined with injuries. Coach Hansi Flick scheduled training days for players not on international duty and then granted a holiday. Marc Casado arrived at Ciutat Esportiva at nine, changed into kit, and completed recovery and maintenance exercises on a day off. Casado has responded positively to Flick's instructions and voluntarily training is appreciated by the coach despite mandatory rest periods. Midfielders Gavi and Marc Bernal also attended the facilities; Bernal played a reserve friendly to regain match fitness. The squad returns to collective training on Monday to prepare for the November 22 match against Athletic Club, with several internationals unavailable and Casado likely to keep his starting role.
