Ferran Torres Threatened with Absence from Joan Gamper Cup Match
Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Ferran Torres, Barcelona's forward, is still suffering from muscle overload, which puts his participation in the Joan Gamper Cup match against Italian team Como next Sunday in serious doubt.
Torres missed the last matches of the Asian tour against Daegu FC from Korea and trained alone this Thursday morning at the Joan Gamper Sports City as a precautionary measure.
On the other hand, coach Hans Flick continued to rely on a group of reserve players, including Jofre Torinces, Pedro Drew, Guillermo Fernandez, and Toni Fernandez, who participated in the first team's training and have opportunities to play in the Gamper match after impressing Flick during the preparatory tour.
Goalkeeper Diego Kouchin returned to training with the reserve team, while Inaki Pena, Hector Fort, and Oriol Romeu also participated in today's training, and they are among the names expected to leave in the last days of the summer transfer market.
Barcelona continues its preparations for the match, having held an evening training session today, and Flick plans to conduct two morning sessions on Friday and Saturday to finalize the lineup.
