While Barcelona have already kickstarted their training in the United States, involving new signings such as Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, the team remains without head coach Xavi Hernandez.

The Spaniard was expected to travel with the team on July 16, but he encountered trouble obtaining a visa, which delayed his departure. He was ultimately left behind in Barcelona, with the hope of resolving the issue the next day.

However, the Spaniard is still yet to obtain a tourist visa from the US authorities, meaning he was not able to travel today.

According to Roger Torello, Xavi will be offered the tourist visa today, after which, he will be able to travel. The Spanish journalist suggests the Barcelona coach should travel to Miami first thing in the morning.

The Barça camp is confident Xavi will make it in time for Barcelona’s friendly against Inter Miami. Soon after landing in Florida, he is expected to greet new signing Lewandowski, along with the rest of the squad.

He may even have a chance to oversee the friendly against Inter Miami, where Lewandowski could make his unofficial debut.

For the time being, however, the Barcelona team is set to continue their training as per the norm, and under the leadership of other coaches and a few senior players.
