Hansi Flick set to restart Barcelona training with Frenkie de Jong boost | OneFootball

FC Barcelona had a very good start to the 2026-27 season as they won all of their eight games played so far, seven in La Liga and one in the UEFA Champions League. With these wins in the league, the Blaugranes are not only at the top of the table, but have already accumulated a five-point lead.

The Catalans’ good run of form was interrupted only by the September international break, which has been different from previous international breaks as it was scheduled to run on for three weeks.

Up to 17 Barcelona players were called up by their respective national teams during this break, and these players will be playing their final games of this break in the coming few days. Meanwhile, the players who were not called up by their national sides trained for a few days at the club facilities, before they were given a few holidays by Hansi Flick, with the coach also getting a few days’ rest.

However, these holidays are already ending, as Mundo Deportivo notes that the German coach and the available players will return to train at the Ciutat Esportiva today, on Monday. The team will start preparing for the game against Getafe, which is scheduled for this coming Saturday.

One of the main novelties in today’s scheduled session is going to be the midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who suffered an injury during the World Cup that has kept him from playing for Barcelona so far this season. He has already recovered to return to play with the ball, and today will train with the available players, namely, Alejandro Balde, Brian Fariñas, Gavi, Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martín, and Gabriel Jesus.

Hansi Flick will be joined by other players who were not called up or returned early with minor physical problems in the coming few days, but it will not be before Thursday that he will have all his players back, including the internationals. Thus, Barcelona will have only two days to properly prepare for their next game, against Getafe, .
