Bardhji and Casado Shocked by Last-Minute Exclusion from Barcelona Squad

Rony Bardghji and Marc Casado were surprised by Flick's decision to exclude them from the Barcelona squad traveling to Udinese, as the players were unaware that they would not be accompanying the team. They only learned of the decision just before heading to the airport.

According to Carlos Monfort, via Sport, Flick's decision came as a surprise to the players, even though they were already aware that their future with the Catalan team would not last long.

Bardaji and Casado knew they were not part of Barcelona's long-term plans, but their exclusion from the squad for an away trip came as a shock to them, especially since the decision was communicated at the last moment before travel.

The report indicated that the manner in which the decision was received was not consistent among all parties, given the surprise caused by the exclusion of the players from the trip, despite their awareness that they would not be part of the team's project for a long time.
