Barcelona head coach Javi Hernandez was able to join the team’s US tour, according to Marca.
The specialist managed to solve bureaucratic problems. Javi traveled to Madrid earlier in the week to personally sort out the issues and be able to visit the US. Earlier, information appeared that the specialist had problems with obtaining an American visa due to a visit to Iran. Xavi visited this country three times when he was a player of the Qatari Al-Sadd.
The Barcelona coach arrived in Miami from Madrid and from there traveled to Fort Lauderdale, where the Spanish team will stay until Thursday, after which they will head to Las Vegas.
Due to the problems mentioned, Xavi missed the Barcelona game against Inter Miami (6: 0), but will be able to lead the team in matches with Real Madrid (July 23 in Las Vegas), Juventus (July 26 in Dallas ) and the New York Red Bulls (July 31 in New York).
In Xavi’s absence, his brother Oscar Hernandez was in charge of training and worked at the match against Inter Miami, constantly in contact with the head coach.
