The data to take into account at the start of the 24/25 preseason of FC Barcelona

Every time lacking less for the start of the pre-season 2024/25 of the FC Barcelona, the first under the orders of the new Barcelona trainer, Hansi Flick, that will begin next Wednesday 10 July. In this day, the footballers of the combined Catalan will report in the Sportive City Joan Gamper for the usual medical evaluation to the beginning of each campaign.

Now, this pre-season will begin of atypical way for the Barcelonan cast because of the dispute of the Eurocopa, the Glass America and the Olympic games. This wants to say that the German technician will not explain initially with all the players of the first team, since no less than 13 culés participated in these international tournaments and, to day of today, four of them are still in activity: Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Fermín López (Spain) and Jules Koundé (France). Those that already culminated his participation with his selected, probably go incorporating gradually to the dynamics of the Catalan group after a deserved period on holiday.

Arrived to this point, the míster germano will initiate the pre-season with a 'mix' of players, including at least to 11 footballers of the filial, as well as to the footballers that return of his respective cessions, like the sides Julián Araujo and Álex Fence in, the defender Clément Lenglet, the midfield player Pablo Tower and the artilleryman Ansu Fati. Besides, Eric García will not be available, since will be contesting the Olympic games with the Spanish selection sub-23. To his time, expects the presence of players of the first team like the guardameta Iñaki Crag, the defender Iñigo Martínez, the side Alejandro Balde, the mediocentro Oriol Romeu and the 'killer' Vitor Roque.

Flick Will initiate the pre-season 24/25 with several 'cracks' culés lesionados

Nevertheless, no everything is positive for Hansi Flick in his new adventure like trainer culé. It knows that initially it will not be able to explain, for example, with Pablo Gavi, the one who still is recovering of a complete break of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee and an injury associated in the lateral meniscus. Although the perspectives on his reestablecimiento are every time better, does not expect that it was smart until very advanced the season, probably between the months of October and November.

Added to this, unfortunately, the participation in the Eurocopa and the Glass America has earned his price in the FC Barcelona. Pedri González has suffered an internal lateral sprain in the left knee (degree 2) and will require at least a month of recovery, what will prevent him join to the pre-season with the club. On the other hand, although there is not an official confirmation, Ronald Araújo apparently is lidiando with a problem in the biceps femoral that it could leave it out of action during at least a month and half or two months, what also excludes it of these first working times.

To these absences adds the one of Frenkie of Jong, the one who suffers a sprain of second degree in his right ankle almost to the term of the campaign 2023/24 and still has not recovered to 100%. This also prevented him participate in the Eurocopa with the Low Countries. In this sense, his presence in the first day of the pre-season seems to be in doubt because of the recurrencia of problems in his right ankle. However, no descarta that it incorporate during the course of these first days of return to the trainings.

And what there is of the case of Sergi Roberto?

To close, remains the case of Sergi Roberto, whose future in the club is not of the all clear. The agreement of the of Reus has expired and still has not arrived to an agreement of renewal. Apparently, the club has asked him that it expect and have patience because of the financial restrictions. If it presents to the pre-season from the Wednesday, will do it like free agent.
