Livakovic joins FC Barcelona training

FC Barcelona's training saw Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic make his first appearance with his teammates following his arrival at the club after their 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao.

Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that FC Barcelona intends to keep Dominik Livakovic as a backup goalkeeper to Juan García, competing with Wojciech Szczesny for the starting position.

Dominik Livakovic is still not registered in La Liga as FC Barcelona awaits the latest moves in the transfer market, and his participation against Rayo Vallecano on Monday remains uncertain. He will be registered if there is enough space within the financial fair play regulations.

Álvaro Correa missed training after receiving permission from the club to complete his transfer to Royal Antwerp, while Marc Casadó and Héctor Fort also missed out amid links to departures in the final days of the transfer window.

The first-team players trained with lighter loads against Athletic Bilbao, while the substitutes undertook a more intense session to maintain their physical readiness. Barcelona continue their preparations with two additional training matches over the weekend, before facing Rayo Vallecano on Monday at Spotify Camp Nou.
