Barca’s training schedule for this week will be conditioned by Wednesday’s Champions League quarter final against Arsenal and Saturday’s league clash with Bilbao at the Nou Camp.

It may be Easter Week, but there’s no rest for the squad who face key games in both European and domestic competitions. Wednesday’s game in London is first up, with the game kicking off at 20-45.

Preparation starts on Monday

After enjoying a day off on Sunday, the squad will be back at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper at 11.00 to prepare for the Arsenal game. This will be the last session before the trip to England.

Flight on Tuesday

The squad fly out at 10.30 on Tuesday morning and will arrive in Luton at 11.50 local time. Barca will train at the Emirates at 18.00.

Back home for training on Thursday evening

The players return home immediately after the game and attention will turn to the league again as Guardiola prepares them for Bilbao’s visit on Saturday. As well as a session on Thursday at 18.00, Guardiola will also put the squad through their paces on Friday morning at 11.00. Both sessions will again be at the Ciutat Esportiva, with Saturday’s midday training held in the Nou Camp itself.
