Josep Guardiola has called on his entire first team plus five reserve team players for the trip on Wednesday to Florence followed by the two-match tour of the USA.

After two days of training in Barcelona, the first team has to pack its bags again, this time to head to Italy and a game with Fiorentina, before jetting off to the United States on Thursday.

The squad

Josep Guardiola has added to his 21 first team players the names of Sergi Busquets, Jeffren, Víctor Vázquez, Víctor Sánchez and Pedro from the B team, meaning there is no place for two players that did travel to Scotland Abraham and Córcoles.

Evening session

The team list was announced after a second training session on Tuesday, held in the Miniestadi, but in the absence of Samuel Eto'o, who accidentally clashed heads in the earlier session with Víctor Sánchez. But there is no reason why the Cameroonian cannot join the team on the trip to Italy.

Henry gets permission

The injured Albert Jorquera was also missing, while special dispensation was given to Thierry Henry to ravel to London and sort out personal issues, and he will fly direct Florence from England and met the squad there.

Intense but relaxed

The first quarter of an hour of the session was held before the media, and featured the players running and then dividing into groups for an exercise that involved passing the ball with their hands, a relaxing activity that the layers clearly seemed to be enjoying.

The squad then worked on ball control and then passed the ball around in circles.
