The Barcelona senior squad will return on Sunday to undergo PCR tests ahead of starting work on Monday
On Monday the first real week of Ronald Koeman's reign at FC Barcelona begins. After being officially presented last week and speaking to several players, the senior squad members who were involved in the Champions League will return to the city on Sunday.
So far the sessions have involved new signings and players who have returned from loan. On Sunday everyone will undergo fresh PCR tests for COVID-19 and then, should all of those results be negative, training starts the next day at 17:30 local time (31st August).
Until that date Rafinha, Oriol Busquets, Wague, Miranda, Pedri, Matheus Fernandes, Trincão, Braithwaite and Gustavo Maia will continue to build up their fitness levels.
