Two league games this week

There’s a busy few days ahead for the first team, who following their successful trip to Madrid on Sunday face two league games and a flight to Kazan for next week’s Champions League tie against Rubin over the next few days.

Barca take on Sporting Gijon, Atletic Club Bilbao and Rubin Kazan over the next 10 days and their training schedule this week is very much centred on getting the players into those games in the best possible form, with no rest days set until after the return from Kazan

Sporting visit

Barca play the first of their three midweek league games this season against Sporting at 20.00 on Wednesday . The team has begun preparations for the game this Monday morning with further training sessions at the Ciutat Esportivo scheduled for 11.00 on Tuesday and at the Stadium at noon on match day.

Bilbao on Saturday

There’s little time for reflection for Guardiola’s team, who face Bilbao at 22.00 on Saturday in the San Mames, with training set for 11 on Thursday and Friday before the squad fly off to the Basque Country on Saturday morning.
