  • FC Barcelona concluded a training session focusing on physical conditioning and individualized work for players Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Balde.
  • Both players are not injured but are undergoing specific training loads to manage their fitness.
  • The team, including many youth players, is preparing for their first pre-season friendly match on Friday.

FC Barcelona wrapped up another training session Wednesday, emphasizing physical conditioning and tailored workouts for Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Balde. The club is carefully managing the players' workloads as they gear up for the upcoming La Liga season.

Neither Araujo nor Balde are dealing with injuries. Araujo is continuing his rehabilitation for his calf muscle, while new physical trainer Benjamin Kugel is implementing preventive measures for the left-back, Balde. This individualized approach aims to ensure both players are optimally prepared for the demands of the season.

The team, which includes a significant number of players from the youth academy, is also awaiting a medical review for Frenkie de Jong, who sustained an injury during the World Cup. The extent of his injury remains undisclosed.

Barcelona is scheduled to hold another training session this afternoon, with further sessions planned for Thursday. The team will play their first pre-season friendly match on Friday, a closed-door game against Europa at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The 2025-2026 LaLiga EA Sports season is set to commence on the weekend of August 15.
