Barça training takes precedence over B team friendly

Barça training takes precedence over B team friendly

Luis Enrique now has 13 Barça B players at his disposal to complete the next phase of Barcelona training on Saturday, with the latest inclusion of Nili and Jesus Alfaro.

The pair were set to feature in Barça B's second pre-season friendly against Santfeliuenc of the Tercera Division, but Enrique has chosen to exercise his power and increase the number of available players in training ahead of the club's involvement in the International Champions Cup.

As a result, Nili and Alfaro have joined fellow Barça B team-mates Jose Aurelio Suarez, Marlon, Jose Antonio Martinez, Borja Lopez, Alex Carbonell, Gerard Gumbau, Carles Alena, Alberto Perea, Ignacio Abeledo, Juan Camara and Wilfrid Kaptoum under Enqriue's orders.

Current members of Barça's first-team that have taken part in training since Wednesday are Jordi Masip, Adriano, Sergi Roberto, Jeremy Mathieu, Munir, Aleix Vidal, Sergi Samper, Luis Suarez and Denis Suarez.
