Barcelona's suspension of all footballing activities within the club has forced the club's players to train at home and Arthur Melo is placing particular emphasis on aerobic capacity.
This is the aspect which is causing the club's staff the most concern with the Brazilian midfielder set to be in self-isolation for at least two weeks.

"We do a lot of abdominal work, I advise maintaining aerobic capacity for him, which is what he will lose the most," Daniel Esteban explained to Radio Catalunya.
"You can do a lot to maintain your physical level, but the problem is that football is a collaborative and competitive sport.
"Without opposition, you lose that edge."
With Esteban working closely with the former Gremio midfielder, he has been given a number of specific exercises to aid his aerobic capacity.
"You can work with resistance bands, as well as going on a treadmill," Esteban intimated.
"There is also the possibility of doing aerobic power work.
"This can all be done in very little space, you have to use your imagination."
