Lately at Barcelona we are already cured of fright. The situation starts to get so surreal that the return of a footballer to training when he had said goodbye to his teammates and picked up his locker Nor is it seen as a great abnormality within the chaos that the club is immersed in.
This Thursday the Chilean Arturo Vidal returned to the Ciutat Esportiva. AND He did it to train under the orders of Ronald Koeman and with the rest of his teammates. The international asked permission to use the Blaugrana facilities after verifying that his signing for Inter is being delayed, and the club gave him the go-ahead to exercise with the group. And is that Vidal was seen running around his home on Wednesday so as not to lose his form.
The situation is so bizarre in Can Barça that to this day it is not clear that Ronald Koeman will sit on the bench next week against Villarreal since Barcelona has not been able to process its discharge as it is still pending to close the settlement with Quique Setién, who wants to charge up to the last euro.
Equally surreal is the situation of Luis Suárez, who continues to exercise with the group, despite the fact that he does not play the preseason friendlies. The Dutch coach announced that he does not have him, but now he does not rule out keeping him if an exit is not finally found for the Uruguayan.
From this Thursday's training session, it should be noted that the two players who together with Umtiti have tested positive for coronavirus this summer: Jean Clair Todibo and Miralem Pjanic, also joined the group. Who has not yet been seen with the group is Ansu Fati, who is still convalescing, recovering from a blow to the hip.
