According to &#8216;Mundo Deportivo&#8217;, the players who were not called up will continue working at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper until Friday, before embarking on a rest period from 26 September to 4 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the players remaining in Barcelona are Szczesny, Gerard Mart\u00edn, Balde, Gavi, Brian Fari\u00f1as and Gabriel Jesus. Meanwhile, injured quartet Joan Garcia, Christensen, De Jong and Roony Bardghji are expected to continue reporting to the club&#8217;s facilities to work through their respective recovery programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The squad are scheduled to reconvene on 5 October, initially still without their international contingent. Hansi Flick will then step up preparations for the clash with Getafe, slated for 10 October at the Spotify Camp Nou, following an intensely demanding start to the campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Szczesny, Gerard Martin, Balde, Gavi, Brian Farinas and Gabriel Jesus will remain in Barcelona during the international break<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2160,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2159"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2159\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2161,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2159\/revisions\/2161"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
