Normal training activities resume

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — The FC Barcelona first team resumed training on a hot and sunny Monday morning here in Southern California. They once again gathered at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with all players present and accounted for, after overcoming the viral gastroenteritis that had afflicted a significant portion of the squad on the day when the much-anticipated Barça-Juventus match in Santa Clara was meant to take place. Ultimately, that match had to be canceled.

This Sunday, it was reported that no new cases had emerged, and if all remains well, the match against Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium on Wednesday will proceed without any hindrance. This encounter shall mark Barça's 2023/24 preseason debut. Following that, the squad is eagerly anticipating their forthcoming clashes with Real Madrid on July 29 in Dallas, and with AC Milan on August 1 in Las Vegas.
