The Barça camp will travel to Tbilisi for the Super Cup with everyone except Neymar. Apart from Neymar's condition, which will prevent him from travelling with the rest of his team-mates, Luis Enrique hasn't left anyone out of the expedition that will travel to Tbilisi for the European Super Cup. This is normal procedure in Barcelona's case when a final is in the offing. The entire squad will take the plane to Tbilisi except the stricken number 11, who will have to stay home and rest. In other words, all available players including the injured Douglas and Jordi Alba, plus the two unregistered new signings, Aleix Vidal and Arda Turan. Alen Halilovic will also be there, giving the player the chance to pick up a trophy with the first team before being put on loan, where he will no doubt have more chances to play than he would otherwise have at the Camp Nou.
Adriano Correia will also make the trip to Georgia, having trained normally for several days despite not being given the all clear yet by the medical team. The Brazilian full-back, one of four former Sevilla players keen to defeat their former club in the Georgian capital, will get the thumbs up today. Nevertheless, he will most probably start the match on the bench, with Jeremy Mathieu most likely to play on the left side of defence in place of Alba. The Frenchman is taller and stronger physically and will therefore be better able to defend against the threat of the high ball. Meanwhile, the club is working hard to offer Adriano a new contract, in the wake of the player's request for a transfer to play for AS Roma. The Italian club have offered €4 million for the Brazilian.
