Despite the fact that he played for them, Mikel Arteta's low blow against FC Barcelona

The now coach of Arsenal FC became an important player for the youth teams of FC Barcelona. Mikel Arteta was formed in the Spanish team and his talent was valid for him to reach important clubs in England. However, in the current transfer market, the coach and his current club make an unexpected decision that does not go down well in Barcelona, prior to their friendly match in the United States.

FC Barcelona is recovering after the last few hours were marked by concern for the state of health of a large part of the members of the squad, in which the match against Juventus, which opened the pre-season tour of the United States, had to be suspended. Although they have a match against Arsenal, the Londoners will show no mercy to Barça in a friendly match and promise to go all out to beat Xavi's men.

The forecast of the blaugrana entity, after consulting with the medical services and medical staff, is that from this Monday the majority of the affected players will be able to train normally. The intention is that the team can be there in time before the friendly match against Arsenal, at the SoFi Stadium, scheduled for Thursday morning.

Are the FC Barcelona players still sick?

In an official statement, Barça confirmed the cessation of the virus: “The FC Barcelona first team players affected by viral gastroenteritis, which forced the suspension of the match against Juventus FC at Levi's Stadium, are progressing favourably. No new case has been detected in the last few hours.
