Rood, the new Barcelona midfielder, participated in the team's collective training for the first time on Monday.
Rood transferred from Manchester City to Barcelona a week ago.
Rood appeared in collective training for the first time after training individually during the past week.
This was after his late joining of the team due to his participation in the World Cup and undergoing a minor back surgery.
The Spanish national team captain participated in collective training alongside players who did not play or played few minutes against Elche.
Meanwhile, players who played for a long time against Elche underwent a recovery training session.
Mundo Deportivo reported that Rood may make his first appearance for Barcelona next Thursday against Athletic Bilbao, in a postponed match from the first round of the Spanish league.
