Gudjohnsen out of Asia trip
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Eidur Gudjohnsen will not participate in FC Barcelona's tour of the Far East and will stay at Camp Nou along with Carles Puyol and Edmílson as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
The Icelandic international has been left out of the tour party by coach Frank Rijkaard in order to
allow the forward to continue working on his recovery programme. Gudjohnsen has had the knee
problem since last season and has already missed out on the trip to Scotland, as did fellow injury
victims Puyol and Edmílson.
Also missing
As well as being without Gudjohnsen, Puyol and Edmílson, Rijkaard will also not have the
services of Lionel Messi, Rafa Márquez and Gaby Milito in Asia as the trio will begin pre-season
training in Catalunya after returning from holiday.
