Tito Vilanova has taken every player he can, including Jordi Alba, as well as Villa and Fontàs, for the forthcoming games against Manchester United and Dinamo Bucharest
Jonathan dos Santos, with a sprain, didn’t train on Tuesday and stays in Barcelona
Barça go into the final phase of the preseason with friendlies against Manchester United, on Wednesday in Gothenburg, and Dinamo Bucharest, on Saturday in the Romanian capital. A squad of 24 has been named for the ‘mini-tour’.
The players include Jordi Alba, who rejoins the squad on Wednesday after a busy summer involving the European Championships and Olympic Games. David Villa and Andreu Fontàs are also in the side, even though the former may be fit but has yet to receive full medical clearance to play, and the latter is also still officially injured. Meanwhile, Adriano Correia has got over his ankle problems, and is also back in the team.
Four members of the reserves also travel, namely Tello, Ilie, Sergi Roberto and Rafinha. But Jonathan Dos Santos, with a sprained quadriceps, stays behind in Barcelona.
