Xavi will join up with Barcelona squad in Miami

Barcelona head coach Xavi will join up with his squad in the United States on July 19.

Xavi’s players have already flown out to their base in Miami ahead of four warm up games in the US this month.

However, the former Spanish international was prevented from leaving with them, due to an issue over his entry requirements into the country.

As part of US visa rules, special permission is required to visit the country in the case of previous entry into Iran.
