FC Barcelona and Juventus were to face each other this Saturday in a friendly match, on the side of Santa Clara (California). It will not be because a virus has hit the Catalan team.
A few weeks before the resumption of the various championships, each team is preparing. Many friendly matches are planned in the coming days and FC Barcelona and Juventus were to play one this Saturday on the side of Santa Clara. But the meeting planned in California for the American tour of the two teams could not take place. Blame it on an epidemic of gastroenteritis.
It is on the Barça side that things are not going well and the Spanish club has confirmed through a press release that the first match of its pre-season has been purely and simply canceled. As indicated ASBalde and Koundé were the first affected and now Romeu and Garcia (among others) are also victims of stomach problems.
Arsenal, July 27
The next friendly meeting of the Barcelonans is supposed to take place on July 27, this time at SoFI Stadium in Los Angeles. It will be against Arsenal. Provided that the virus of which they are currently victims, allows Xavi’s men to recover their means in time.
