MADRID (AFP) - Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has trained with the rest of the squad for the first time since he injured his knee at the end of last season, the Spanish club said Friday.
The 29-year-old international defender warmed up by himself but then joined the rest of the squad on Thursday morning for some jogging, passing practice and a practice match on Thursday morning, it said in a statement.
"The signs were good for Puyol, who appears to be making steady progress in his recovery from the right knee ligament injury he suffered in June," it said.
Barcelona, who beat French side Lyon 3-0 at home on Wednesday in a Champions League match, face Sevilla on Saturday in the Spanish league.
