Work at Spotify Camp Nou continues to move forward at pace, with Barcelona determined not to lose momentum even during the Christmas period. In fact, according to a report from SPORT, construction has not slowed down, which largely explains the club's urgency to increase stadium capacity as soon as possible and boost matchday revenue. Barcelona's objective to bring fans back in larger numbers at the earliest opportunity and the next major step could arrive very soon.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Marcus Rashford has left the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper early on Friday morning, creating significant uncertainty less than 24 hours before Barcelona face Athletic Club. The English forward was absent from training on Thursday as well, with the reasons for the same being unclear. As for today, the 28-year-old arrived at the Barcelona training facilities but departed shortly after 9 am. This puts his availability for the game against the Basque club under serious doubt.
