Official: Barcelona announce squad list for pre-season tour | OneFootball

After a few weeks of intense training under new coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona are set to embark on a pre-season tour to the United States.

This promises to be a crucial tour for Barcelona, as it will hand Flick the opportunity to closely assess many of the players. Not to mention, Barça are set to take on familiar European rivals including Manchester City, AC Milan and Real Madrid.

Barcelona announce squad for US tour

Just days before the tour, Barcelona have officially announced the squad list, which has some notable exclusions either due to injury or an extended summer break.

Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal are two notable exclusions as both are on an extended break in light of Spain’s success in Euro 2024.

Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi are not a part of the squad either as they are currently representing Spain in the Paris Olympics.

The likes of Pedri, Ronald Araujo, Ansu Fati, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi have also been excluded on account of their respective injuries.

Inaki Martinez, Clement Lenglet and Vitor Roque, meanwhile, are part of the squad despite uncertainty over their futures.

Raphinha, too, has been included, along with Ilkay Gundogan and Jules Kounde. But these three players, having played either Euro 2024 or Copa America, will fly out on their own and will not travel with the squad.

Much of the 31-man squad involves La Masia stars, who will be in focus including the midfield trifecta of Marc Bernal, Marc Casado and Unai.

Noah Darvich and Mika Faye, too, will look to make an impression, along with Alex Valle and Pau Victor, all of who are looking to make a breakthrough in the senior team next season.
