The FC Barcelona squad, including goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, have arrived in England for their training camp at St George’s Park, near Birmingham

Luis Enrique and his Barça squad left on Monday morning for their six-day training camp at St George’s Park, the FA’s facility on the outskirts of the English city of Birmingham. With 18 members of the first team and eight from the reserves, they touched down at Birmingham Airport just before noon, local time.

Pedro and Claudio Bravo

The main attraction in the travelling party is Claudio Bravo. The Chilean goalkeeper, who signed from Real Sociedad this summer, has returned from his holiday to join his new team-mates.

Monday 28 July is also a special day for Pedro Rodríguez, who is celebrating his 27th birthday.

Evening training

The first training session on British soil will start at 6.00 PM GMT. Then, from Tuesday to Friday, the team will be training twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. On Saturday, the team will fly to Nice, France for a friendly against OGC Nice.
