La Liga

8 Barcelona stars handed extended breaks by Hansi Flick

By Admin / November 10, 2026

A number of leading members of the first-team ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona have this week been afforded a well-earned period of rest.

Barca are of course fresh off taking to the pitch for the final time for two weeks this past weekend. In a crunch showdown in the La Liga title race, the Blaugrana made the trip to Spain’s capital for a showdown with Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.

When all was said and done, the visitors emerged on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline, to maintain their advantage atop the standings in Spain’s top-flight.

And as alluded to above, Hansi Flick has evidently since felt it only right to reward some of his squad for their efforts.

After not being called up for international duty by their respective nations, or missing out to minor fitness complaints, the following players were in attendance at the Ciutat Esportiva on Tuesday morning:

Wojciech Szczęsny, Alejandro Balde, Eric García, Gerard Martín, Gabriel Jesus, Brian Fariñas, Gavi and Karim Adeyemi.

All eight, though, will not be required to report back to base for training until next Monday, afforded five full days of rest.
