The new interim coach of Barcelona’s first team, Sergi Barjuan, led his first training session this Thursday afternoon at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper after the president, Joan Laporta, introduced him to the squad in the locker room and gave explanations about the dismissal of Ronald Koeman and what will happen from now on, with the hiring of Xavi Hernández on the horizon.
Barjuan has already started preparing for Saturday’s game against Alavés with the majority of the first team members. Ousmane Dembélé has trained with the rest of the squad for the third consecutive session, but it is not yet known if it will be the big news of the call after being injured this summer in the Eurocopa with France.
It is also difficult to enter the Ansu Fati list, who already missed the match against Rayo Vallecano due to some discomfort in his right knee.
