Barcelona Pre-Season Begins with Intensity as Key Players Return EarlyBarcelona’s
pre-season preparations are off to an energetic and focused start, with several senior players demonstrating their commitment by cutting their holidays short to report back to training ahead of schedule.
Among those already back at the Ciutat Esportiva are Marc Casadó, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araújo, Gavi, Héctor Fort, Joan García, Gerard Martín, Dani Olmo, and Marc-André ter Stegen.
This early return signals a strong sense of purpose within the squad as they begin work under new manager
Hansi Flick, who is expected to bring high-intensity demands and tactical discipline to the team.
Meanwhile, other key players who have not yet reported to the training ground are also staying sharp.
Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, and several others are maintaining their fitness with individual training sessions away from club facilities, ensuring they remain in top condition ahead of the full squad’s reunion.
According to Catalunya Ràdio, this proactive mindset across the squad reflects a renewed sense of ambition and readiness to meet the challenges of the upcoming season — both domestically and in Europe.
