Barcelona Duo Train Despite Rest Days

After wrapping up their pre-season tour in the USA, FC Barcelona is eagerly preparing for their upcoming challenges. They have an intriguing match against Tottenham Hotspurs in the Joan Gamper Trophy before embarking on their La Liga campaign.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo reveal that the Catalan club has granted its players permission to enjoy some well-deserved time off until this Sunday. Nevertheless, several players have chosen to utilize this time to work on their fitness and physical conditioning.

Among those dedicated players is the young talent Gavi, who has been an integral part of Xavi’s squad. Despite his coach’s confidence in him, Gavi couldn’t participate in any matches during the USA tour due to a bout of gastroenteritis and subsequent back pain. However, he is determined to overcome these setbacks and enter the season in top form.

Another player putting in the extra effort at Cuitat Esportiva Joan Gamper is Andreas Christensen, a key figure in Barcelona’s defense during the last season, significantly contributing to their La Liga triumph. Unfortunately, he sustained a knock to his left ankle during the El Clasico in Dallas. Nevertheless, he is resolute in his determination to regain full fitness ahead of the season’s kick-off.

Two young prospects, Mikayil Faye and Ander Astralaga, are also foregoing their days off to impress Xavi with their dedication and commitment on the training ground.

With the Joan Gamper Trophy match against Tottenham scheduled for next Tuesday, followed by their La Liga opener against Getafe on Sunday, FC Barcelona is ready to take on the challenges of the new season.
