No break for Barcelona’s Olympic winners as La Liga season kicks off
Barcelona’s three players involved in Spain’s Olympic gold medal win will have a minimum break ahead of the La Liga season start.
However, a packed domestic schedule means there will be a limited rest period, with defensive pair Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia back in training as per reports from Mundo Deportivo.
Garcia confirmed the plan after the final alongside his intention to fight for a starting spot on his return from a loan spell at Girona.
Fermin Lopez will be granted a few days off, after he played a limited role with Spain at Euro 2024, but the former duo had their break before the Olympics.
In reality, Barcelona are unlikely to rush the trio into regular action in the coming weeks, and their involvement will be limited until after the September international break.
