According to an update from SPORT, Juan Hernandez has trained with Barcelona's first team for the second straight day. The 18-year-old continues to attract attention within the club, and his growing involvement with Hansi Flick's side highlights the faith the manager has in La Masia's latest gem. Barcelona are currently facing a wave of injury problems, with several key players unavailable for the upcoming clash against Girona. Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Robert Lewandowski have all been ruled out, leaving Flick with limited attacking options.
To begin, England defender John Stones was recently sent home from the Three Lions' September camp after complaining of a minor muscle injury. It remains to be seen just how bad that problem is for the City and whether he will feature against Manchester United this weekend. "He came with minor issues and didn't progress as we thought and hoped he would, so he left camp this morning," said Thomas Tuchel when asked about Stones' omission from England's two internationals against Andorra and Serbia.
Germany are in Group A of European World Cup qualifying for the 2026 World Cup where they are to face Slovakia, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg. Their campaign starts this September and will all be done and dusted by the middle of November, provided Germany meet their expectations and top the group. If they don't and finish second they will have to play in playoffs in March 2026.
