"FC Barcelona secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over CD Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night, securing progression to the Round of 16. Up next for the La Liga champions is a clash against Villarreal away at Estadio La Ceramica in their final match before the mid-season break. Pedri, Ferran among players who train on day off"
"Szczesny, meanwhile, had a great chance of starting against Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey encounter, but pushed for Flick to choose Marc-Andre ter Stegen instead. As for Pedri and Ferran, the duo will likely be included in the starting XI when Barcelona take on Villarreal later this week, before the squad goes off for the Christmas break. Ahead of that match, Flick's side will hold two training sessions, on Friday and Saturday, to fine-tune their preparation against the Yellow Submarine."
FC Barcelona beat CD Guadalajara 2-0 in the Copa del Rey to progress to the Round of 16. The La Liga champions travel to Estadio La Ceramica to face Villarreal in their final match before the mid-season break. Hansi Flick granted the squad a day off after the cup win, but several first-team players trained voluntarily at the Ciutat Esportiva, including Pedri, Ferran Torres, Wojciech Szczesny and Dani Olmo. Olmo is recovering from a dislocated shoulder and aims to return for the Catalan derby in early January. Barcelona will hold two training sessions before facing Villarreal, who sit third in La Liga with two games in hand.
