Preseason: FC Barcelona vs Al-Ahly, Wembley Stadium, Sunday, July 26 2009, 14:00 CET

It's our second preseason match, and Barca's up against Egyptian club Al-Ahly as the Wembley Cup continues.

The two teams met before in a friendly in Egypt at the end of the 2006-2007 season, where Bojan made his first team debut and scored the second goal in Barca's 4-0 win.

We expect Pep will be playing the kids once again for this one, and that Messi will also get some game time. He missed out on the previous match due to slight discomfort in his thigh during training, but he's been training normally with the team since then and reportedly, will play half the match today.

The team held a "recovery" training session yesterday following the match and worked on muscle strengthening to avoid more injuries. Hleb, who is having problems with his ankle, as well as Marquez, Maxwell, and Henry, who continue to train apart from the group, most likely won't be playing.
