sportsmole.co.uk, 28 July 2024, 19:39
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has named his 31-man squad for the club's US Tour, which will kick off on Tuesday evening with a clash against English champions Manchester City.

The Catalan giants will also tackle Real Madrid and AC Milan in glamour friendlies before heading back to Spain to prepare for the Joan Gamper Trophy fixture against Monaco.

Barcelona's 2024-25 La Liga campaign will then begin on August 17 against Valencia at Mestalla.

The squad is a mixture of youth and experience, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ilkay Gundogan and Robert Lewandowski among the senior players set to feature in the United States.

Who are the notable absentees?

Neither Lamine Yamal nor Ferran Torres are in the travelling squad due to their involvement for Spain at Euro 2024, while Fermin Lopez, Eric Garcia and Pau Cubarsi are representing Spain at the Olympics.

Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Ronald Araujo and Ansu Fati are also missing from the list due to injury.

Raphinha and Gundogan will both link up with the squad on Monday, having been given slightly longer off this summer, while Jules Kounde will be available from August 1, so the France international will miss the team's opening game of their tour against Man City.

Alejandro Balde is a notable inclusion, with the left-back recovering from the hamstring issue that forced him to miss the second half of last season and also Euro 2024.

Barcelona's only summer arrival is in the squad

Barcelona have only made one signing so far this summer, with Pau Victor arriving from Girona after a successful loan spell with Barcelona B during the 2023-24 campaign.

The 22-year-old scored 20 times in 39 appearances for the second team last term, and he is expected to be given the chance to make an impression his summer.

Marc Bernal, Marc Casado and Unai Hernandez are among the youngsters in the squad, while there is a position in the travelling party for 15-year-old forward Toni Fernandez.

Full Barcelona pre-season squad

Goalkeepers: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Inaki Pena, Ander Astralaga, Diego Kochen

Defenders: Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Julian Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Hector Fort, Alex Valle, Mikayil Faye, Gerard Martin, Andres Cuenca, Sergi Dominguez, Alexis Olmedo

Midfielders: Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gundogan, Pablo Torre, Marc Casado, Unai Hernandez, Marc Bernal, Noah Darvich, Guille Fernandez, Quim Junyent

Attackers: Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Vitor Roque, Pau Victor, Toni Fernandez
