As part of the Champions Tour 2023, FC Barcelona had an appointment against Juventus Turin on Saturday evening. On the sidelines of this shock, a gastroenteritis virus affected a large majority of the Catalan workforce. Hampered by stomach aches, Xavi Hernandez’s men were not fit to face their Italian counterparts and the meeting had to be canceled, to the great detriment of the supporters present. Nevertheless, Mundo Deportivo relays this Monday that Barça players are doing better.
“The FC Barcelona first team players affected by viral gastroenteritis, which forced the suspension of the match against Juventus FC at Levi’s Stadium, are progressing well. In the past few hours, no new cases have been detected., said the Spanish champion in a press release. In the process, Barça added that the training session fixed for Monday will not be modified, specifying that “the majority participation of the players concerned is expected”. Good news for Blaugrana fans as Xavi’s squad take on Arsenal at Sofi Stadium on Wednesday July 26.
