Barcelona players train separately as club seeks to reduce squad size

FC Barcelona has instructed six players to train separately from the main group as part of efforts to reduce an overcrowded squad ahead of the transfer deadline. The decision has sparked frustration among players, including Marc Casado, who have been told to seek new clubs. This follows a recent injury to Roony Bardghji during high-intensity training. The club aims to minimize injury risks while encouraging these players to find permanent transfers. The atmosphere within the squad has reportedly been affected by the decisions made by head coach Hansi Flick, as the club prioritizes managing its roster effectively.
