BARCELONA skipper Carles Puyol has denied rumours of a rift at the Nou Camp.
Striker Samuel Eto'o has had a very public fall out with coach Frank Rijkaard and Brazilian star Ronaldhino over claims the Cameroonian didn't want to come on as a substitute against Santander on Sunday.
But pictures of the two players hugging at training suggest reconciliation is in the air.
"People think there is a time bomb in the dressing room but that isn't true," said Puyol. "Rijkaard has got the team under control, Eto'o has a good relationship with the rest of the group and the atmosphere is good.
"Outside the dressing room there may be divisions but not inside. We need to be 100% united."
Rijkaard said no disciplinary action would be taken against Eto'o, adding: "We have to look to the future."
