Messi, Neymar, Alves and Mascherano not facing Fiorentina

Lionel Messi, Neymar, Dani Alves and Javier Mascherano will not play against Fiorentina on Sunday.

The four stars will remain in Barcelona to continue their pre-season, taking a training session on the day the team travel to Italy to play.

On Thursday the two Argentines turned up by surprise and took their medicals, despite having a few more days of holiday left.

It's likely that the four will all play some part in the Joan Gamper Trophy next week against Roma, August 5 at the Camp Nou (22h CET).

The objective is for the four to arrive at a good level of fitness in time to compete in the Super Cups.
