After two months of missing matches due to a knee injury, defender Carles Puyol has started training.

The 34-year-old veteran got injured at the end of last season and had to lie on the operating table, so he missed the European Championship that took place in June.

It is reported that Puyol will start negotiations for a new contract with the club in the near future. His current contract expires in June 2013.

Last season, in the Spanish championship, the defender played 25 matches and scored three goals.
