FCB players' international matches

Twelve first team players as well as Barça B's Ondoa represent their nations this week

The international break means that a number of first team players will be absent from training this week. The national teams of Spain, Turkey and Belgium, which include Gerard Piqué, Marc Bartra, Jordi Alba, Andrés Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Arda Turan and Thomas Vermaelen, will each play two friendlies in preparation for the 2016 European Championships. Munir El Haddadi will also compete in two Euro 2017 qualifiers for Spain U21.

Neymar Jr and Dani Alves (Brazil), Javier Mascherano (Argentina) and Claudio Bravo (Chile) have two 2018 World Cup qualifiers, as does Barça B goalkeeper Ondoa (Cameroon).

Official site did this again, very nice to keep tabs on the players

Would be nice if Iniesta and Alba could get a rest as they are prone to injuries. Neymar worries me too because it will be tough for him to be at 100% in Clasico after being main man for Brazil just days before the game. Most players will play anyway but Masche or Busi are used to that and they will probably stay healthy.

Spain plays friendlies so hopefully del Bosque rotates a lot. We can't afford to lose anyone else.

Did someone notice that yesterday not even one real madrid player participate in the game???
while many of barca players where playing!!!
