Today’s match in Hong Kong against the Mission Hills Invitation XI has been called off due to a typhoon which is due to hit Hong Kong today. Barça are going to spend an extra day in Hong Kong and the game may take place tomorrow, Saturday, but this has yet to be confirmed.

This can not help the team’s preparation at all. Presumably if the team can’t play today they won’t be able to train either, unless of course some indoor installations are made available. Another 24 hours of kicking their heels around ther hotel is not the best way to spend the day, two weeks before the start of the season. It will also mean one day less together in Barcelona to prepare the first game against Racing Santander.
