Guardiola only have two days to prepare for the Super

Pep Guardiola has given his players party until Thursday. The selections have been much of the Barça squad, so these days in the Ciutat Esportiva exercised only Leo Messi, Javier Mascherano, Adriano, Alexis Sanchez, and players with complaints that need specific treatment. The coach does not have the whole staff until Thursday, when the trial will begin to prepare the first leg of Super Cup next Sunday. However, the technician will have a concern. And Xavi Hernandez returned from touring with physical ailments that prevent him from playing this Wednesday with Spain. Xavi finished the game against American on Saturday, noting an overload in the soleus muscle that kept him from going out to play in the second half. Guardiola was intended to give more minutes to continue their progression and be intensifying their workloads and minutes on the field. But egarense Guardiola told in the dressing room he had noticed that he was "putting like a stone" the soleus, so by them and doctors, agreed not to jump to the field after the break.
During this preseason has been doing prevention work in their Achilles tendons and specific recovery in the soleus are these problems result from their discomfort in the heels ¿, it seems, are still too tender to play at the highest level. In any case, Xavi also blamed these problems, in large part to the state of the pitch was too hard and dry. And the Dallas Cowboys stadium is as spectacular as overwhelming, but obviously its surface is not prepared to play soccer '¿.
This small overhead on the alarm has Barça `¿, especially as the Super Cup final is just around the corner. The template does not walk more than enough manpower to go `risking did arbitrarily.
So Xavi called yesterday afternoon to coach Vicente del Bosque to communicate their status and shuffle the options out there. In any case, is totally ruled out playing Wednesday's friendly against Italy and the only question is if you finally travel to Madrid to do prevention work at the Ciudad Deportiva de Las Rozas, or if you stay in Barcelona to work during these days more fully in their soleus overloading.
In any case, no one doubts that the next Xavi Hernandez August 14 will be at the Bernabeu and will put the five senses to get the best possible conditions for this first official game of the season.
