Second week of preseason under way. This Tuesday the FC Barcelona first team squad was back at work at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper after having the day off on Monday. The Tito Vilanova field was the venue for the first training session that commenced at 9.30am, while the second session began at 6.00pm CEST.
Hansi Flick worked with the usual group plus Roony Bardghji who is training with the first team squad, plus Toni Fernández, Guille Fernández, Jofre Torrents and Pedro Fernández ‘Dro’ from Barça Atlètic.
Marc-André ter Stegen and Dani Rodríguez were both absent doing personal exercises in the gym.
Tour incoming
This second week of preseason is notable because on Thursday the team will be jetting off to Japan to start their Asian Tour. That means Wednesday will be the final day of training – one morning session – at the Ciutat Esportiva for the time being. The blaugranes will play their first game on Sunday against Vissel Kobe, kickoff at 7pm JST and midday CEST.
