Pedri - Works on specific training program Pedri is working on a specific training program during his first days of preseason, according to the club.

Impact Pedri contributed two goals and nine assists across 29 LaLiga matches last season as the metronome of Barcelona's title winning midfield, before a modest World Cup with Spain that saw him go without a goal contribution across eight appearances, starting the tournament before finishing as a substitute. His individualized early sessions suggest a gradual buildup, and his near guaranteed role in everything the club does gives him a dependable floor heading into the new 2026/27 La Liga campaign once fully integrated with the team.

Roony Bardghji - Undergoes successful surgery Bardghji underwent a successful ACL surgery in his right knee, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Bardghji suffered the injury earlier this month, and he's now expected to miss the majority -- if not all -- of the 2026/27 season. Bardghji was expected to be a backup in Barcelona's attacking line, however, so his absence won't be a big issue from a fantasy perspective.

Pau Cubarsi - Begins preseason at Barcelona Cubarsi is back with Barcelona's squad to kick off preseason after winning the World Cup with Spain, according to Jijantes FC.

Impact Cubarsi conceded just one goal across eight appearances during the tournament, adding eight tackles and five interceptions, numbers that echo his steady club form as a defensive cornerstone for Barcelona last season, playing 31 LaLiga matches as a composed young center back in Flick's title winning side. Coming off a strong World Cup showing, he continues to develop into one of the league's better young defenders. Cubarsi is expected to build toward full fitness as preseason continues.

Dani Olmo - Reports to Ciutat Esportiva Olmo is back at Barcelona's training facility as preseason begins, having won the World Cup with Spain, according to Jijantes FC.

Impact Olmo contributed two assists across eight appearances during the tournament, continuing a productive stretch that also included seven goals and around eight assists in LaLiga last season despite occasional injury interruptions, with his central creative role in manager Hansi Flick's system unlocked when fully healthy. His main question mark remains availability given his history of muscular issues, though a regular role could push his output even higher this season. Olmo is expected to continue building toward full fitness as the club's preseason continues.

Pedri - Joins squad for preseason Pedri has joined his teammates at Barcelona's Ciutat Esportiva for the start of preseason, having lifted the World Cup with Spain, according to Jijantes FC.

Impact Pedri did not register a goal contribution across eight appearances during the tournament, starting the competition before finishing the final matches as a substitute, a modest stretch that contrasts with his role as the metronome of Barcelona's title winning midfield last season, when he contributed two goals and nine assists across 29 LaLiga matches. His near-guaranteed minutes and central role in everything the club does give him a dependable floor heading into the new campaign. Pedri is expected to build toward match fitness as preseason ramps up.

Lamine Yamal - Back at Ciutat Esportiva Yamal has arrived at Barcelona's Ciutat Esportiva to begin preseason preparations, fresh off winning the World Cup with Spain, according to Jijantes FC.

Impact Yamal contributed one goal across eight appearances during the tournament, adding to a standout LaLiga campaign in which he was named Player of the Season after scoring 16 goals and adding 11 assists to drive Barcelona to the title under coach Hansi Flick. Still remarkably young, he remains a nailed-on starter on the right wing with elite volume across goals, chance creation and set pieces, and there's little reason to expect a dip in output as he continues to develop. Yamal is expected to build up his fitness as preseason gets underway.

Jules Kounde - Back in training as scheduled Kounde returned to training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper Tuesday, as scheduled, according to Angel Perez of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Kounde made 30 LaLiga appearances last season, contributing one goal and three assists as a near ever present in Barcelona's title winning back line, and had decent outings for France at the World Cup before the tournament ended in the semifinal loss to Spain. He will undergo his medical as usual before gradually building up to full training intensity, though reports suggest he could still leave the club this summer, rising some doubts about his role heading into the 2026/27 season.

Roony Bardghji - Suffers second torn ACL Bardghji suffered another torn ACL in his right knee and will be out for six to seven months, according to Barca Universal.

Impact Bardghji's injury affects the same right knee he had already torn during his time at Copenhagen in 2024, a setback that kept him out for many months at the time. The injury occurred during Monday morning training at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, forcing him to leave the session early and visibly affected. The diagnosis completely upends Barcelona's plans for the winger, who had not traveled with the squad to Udine over the weekend while negotiating a possible exit for playing time elsewhere. Any potential loan is now on hold, with the club also not expected to register him for competitive play as he begins a long recovery process.

Roony Bardghji - Suffers likely serious knee injury Bardghji did not finish Monday's training session after suffering what could be a serious knee injury, with the cruciate ligament potentially affected pending official medical test...

Impact Bardghji had already been left out of coach Hansi Flick's squad for the Udine triangular tournament, and this new setback comes amid open talks over his future, with a loan or permanent move drawing offers from LaLiga and abroad, a process this injury could now stall. He previously suffered a serious knee injury that kept him out for 10 months, and the club is expected to issue an official statement once the definitive diagnosis is confirmed, though the early signs point toward a lengthy absence.

Eric Garcia - Reports back ahead of schedule Garcia has rejoined training ahead of schedule as Barcelona ramps up preparations for the new season, the club announced.

Impact Garcia enjoyed his most consistent season yet in 2025-26, making 34 appearances as a versatile piece for the champions, capable of filling in at center back, right back or even in midfield under coach Hansi Flick. That flexibility is precisely what keeps him on the field so often, even if his production stayed modest with just one goal and one assist. He returned to training early alongside Anthony Gordon and Joan Garcia after a limited role for Spain at the World Cup. Garcia is expected to continue serving as a valuable multi-positional option as Barcelona builds toward the new campaign.

Joan Garcia - Back early for new season Garcia has resumed training early for the new season with FC Barcelona, the club announced.

Impact Garcia was a revelation in his debut Barcelona campaign, keeping 15 clean sheets in 30 matches and pushing for the Zamora Trophy as one of LaLiga's premier goalkeepers, backed by strong save numbers behind a possession-heavy side. He returned to training a few days ahead of schedule alongside Anthony Gordon and Eric Garcia after playing a limited role for Spain at the World Cup. As Barcelona's established number one under coach Hansi Flick, there's no rotation risk clouding his outlook. Garcia is expected to remain a central figure in Barcelona's setup as the club builds toward the new campaign.

Anthony Gordon - Ready for new season Gordon is back from vacation and ready for the new season with Barcelona following his participation with England at the World Cup, the club announced.

Impact Gordon contributed a goal and three assists across six appearances during the tournament, continuing to show the pace and directness that have made him one of the most dynamic attackers in Europe. He scored 17 goals and added five assists across 41 appearances in all competitions last season, numbers that reflect his growing threat in front of goal to go with his creativity. Capable of playing either left wing or as a central striker, his versatility gives Barcelona added flexibility in attack.

Raphinha - Scores in return to action Raphinha (hamstring) started and converted a penalty kick during Saturday's friendly meeting with Nottingham Forest.

Impact Raphinha finally made his competitive comeback after sustaining a muscular injury while representing Brazil at the World Cup. The star attacker has stood out as one of Barca's most impressive players over the last couple of seasons, and his role is unlikely to change significantly as long as he stays healthy over the next year, even though the arrival of offseason signing Anthony Gordon could reduce his playing time or push him to a more centralized spot at times. Before having his World Cup campaign cut short by the injury, Raphinha was coming off a 16-goal and five-assist campaign across league and European competitions in 2025/26.
