The players from Barcelona who took in the World Cup tournament in Russia are gradually returning back.
As expected the length of break given to the players was dependent on the stage at which their respective countries were knocked out.
Already back with the team is Marc-Andre ter Stegen whose German side failed to make it past the group stage of the competition.
Ter Stegen touched down in the US on Sunday and met the squad at their hotel in Dallas.
Howdy, @mterstegen1! Great to see you! Welcome to Texas ¡Mirad quién ha llegado! Mireu qui ha arribat! #TheMagiciansOfTheBall
