Seven days before preseason
Marc Guillén
Next Monday Barça begin preseason with a day of medical check-ups. The following day the team heads off to London for six days.
As every year Barça are to begin the preseason with a day of medical check-ups and then move
straight on to their first camp.
First training session in London
This year Barça are to begin preseason with a camp and will have no training sessions in
Barcelona. The team have changed Saint Andrews (Scotland) for London (England) and have foregone a
week in Barcelona unlike last year.
Two tough games
In the first week Barça will play two tough friendlies in the Wembley Cup against Spurs on
Friday 24th July and Al-Ahly two days later.
Unbeatable facilities
Barcelona will have fantastic grass pitches just ten minutes from their hotel at
Bisham Abbey, where the England football team get together before games.
Six missing
All the first team players will be there next Monday save those who took part in the
Confederations Cup (Puyol, Piqué, Xavi, Busquets and Alves) and the European under-21 championship
(Bojan).
