The coach was due to head to the USA today with his players but there's a problem

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will not travel with the rest of the squad to the USA because of administrative problems with his passport. The squad are heading off at 2.30pm to Miami, where their tour begins.

However after making his squad list for the trip, the coach himself will not be making the flight because of some bureaucracy issues. There are reports that it is because he travelled to Iran several times while with Al-Sadd in Qatar to play games.

The club say that he will join up with the squad in the coming days and hope the delay is as short as possible.
