The 21 players that have travelled to the Czech capital have trained normally in the stadium to be used for tomorrow evening’s encounter, the Eden Stadium.
This was the last time the team will train before taking on Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night. Josep
Guardiola had all 21 players in perfect condition and was able to familiarise himself with a new
venue for the club, Prague’s Eden Stadium.
Three dropped
Guardiola will have to strike three of those names off his list before tomorrow’s
Champions League match. He has taken 19 first team players plus Barça B’s Cuenca and Oier. Of
these, Alexis Sánchez is the only one who has not yet been given medical clearance to play.
Guardiola meets Srnicek again
Before training, Josep Guardiola met a former team mate of his from his days at Brescia:
Pavel Srnicek. He was the reserve goalkeeper for the Italian outfit in the 2000/01, 2001/02 and
2002/03 seasons, the same time that the current FCB manager was in Lombardy. The former player
travelled to Eden Stadium to say hello to his old friend Guardiola.
