Wilfrid Kaptoum misses out on England stage due to visa issue

FC Barcelona have confirmed that the Barça B Cameroonian Wilfrid Kaptoum has been left out of the squad to travel to the stage in Saint George's Park due to a bureaucratic issue.

Luis Enrique was thinking of taking the midfielder to England next week, but the delay in receiving the player's visa has led to a change of plans.

Kaptoum made his first team debut last season, and scored in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Valencia at Mestalla.

The squad travel on Monday for the next step in their preparations ahead of the upcoming season, and the group will surprisingly include Leo Messi.

Arda Turan is also named in the expedition, at a time in which he is being linked with a move away from the Catalan capital.
