Since the start of the pre-season, Barcelona players Rafael Márquez, Thierry Henry and Maxwell have been working apart from the squad.
Catalan sports paper Sport claims that the three players will start training with the group at the beginning of next week. They could then make their game debut during the tour in the United States.
Maxwell is following special program to strengthen the muscles around his right knee, a consecuence of the serious knee injury the Brazilian left back suffered four years ago. Márquez torn the internal and external menisci of his left knee during the Champions league game against Chelsea on 28 April 2009 and was then expected to be out for two and a half to three months (read more here).
Henry strained the posterior cruciate ligament of his right knee during the league game against Real Madrid on 2 May and was then expected to be out for at least three weeks. Despite playing the final of the Champions League on 27 May, Henry hasn't yet fully recovered from the injury (read more here).
