The day of the presentation of Ferran Torres was diluted at the last minute. Barça announced this Monday that the Valencian and Pedri have tested positive for COVID and that they had reported to the competent authorities. The two will be isolated for at least a week, so they will arrive very close to the Super Cup match against Madrid.

Barça will no longer have to rush to register Ferran with a view to the game against Granada (Saturday 6:30 pm) and Xavi will not have to force his reappearance either, as the two come out of injury.
Therefore, and after the negatives of Umtiti, Lenglet, Alves and Alba, Barça lost Ferran Torres and Pedri and joined Abde, Coutinho, Gavi, Dest, Dembélé and Alejandro Balde as positive. That, in addition to the injured Ansu, Memphis, Braithwaite and Sergi Roberto.
