Memphis Depay, Frenkie de Jong, Antoine Griezmann and Clement Lenglet have just joined, although they will not play this first friendly. Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Martin Braithwaite will do it next week, just to travel to the stage in Germany. And the last to arrive will be Leo Messi, Emerson Royal and Sergio Ag?ero, who have permission until the first week of August.

It only remains to define the incorporation of the three internationals who will play the Tokyo Olympic Games with Spain, Pedri, ?scar Mingueza and Eric Garcia, who will be the only one who does not have a vacation this season.

The club considers that by not having had almost no participation with Manchester City in the second part of the season, the center-back is not physically punished and can chain the Eurocup, the Olympic Games and the start of the season with Bar?a without problems.

Mingueza will also join as soon as the Olympic event is over, but in the case of Santa Perp?tua he already enjoyed a few weeks off between the end of last season and his concentration with the Spanish team.

Pedri will enjoy a few days of vacation, since Bar?a is very concerned about the accumulation of efforts it has had this season, in which it has already played 58 games -52 with Bar?a and seven with the Spanish national team- and still she can add eight more if the Olympian reaches the final.

The Tenerife-born already made a few days between the elimination of Spain in the Eurocup and its incorporation to the Olympic and will enjoy about ten more days before being under the command of Ronald Koeman.

Think Pedri should get at least two weeks off after Olympics. I'm fine with Garcia joining soon (don't know if players having no time off between two seasons is really allowed though) and for Oscar as well as he was resting during Euro. Would also like Emerson to cut his holidays short a few days and join the team for a stage in Germany. Probably the same for Aguero. They didn't play much in Copa America.

why would you think/expect any TV would broadcast this match? Apart from the club's official channel of course. It's not like it's the CL final, it's the first preseason game against 3tier opposition, for god's sakes. :lol:

Fake. You see Nico, who's not even in the squad there. Don't think Koeman will play Pjanic, even in a game like this, especially since he, like Braithwaite will almost certainly be gone this summer, since there will be takers for them eventually, since they're not on super high wages. Most excited to see Balde, who is really our only LB in this squad. Shame Nico is out, would be excited to see him too. There's still Collado at least, and of course, Riqui, if Koeman will even play him. Can also see how Demir looks, and if he got what it takes, if he could help the first team this season already.

So Puig is a midfielder right, it must be a 433 with Peque, Demir and this guy Escobar who I wasn't aware of?
Puig-Pjanic-Roberto, and then a predictable back four.

Not much to say of the lineup. Maaaaaaaybe K-Dawg could have started one of the B centres (Umtiti-Comas then Mingo-Pique) with a vet. But not a biggie.
