Due to an epidemic of viral gastroenteritis among the Spanish players, the friendly match that was scheduled to take place between Barcelona and Juventus in San Francisco on Saturday has been postponed.
According to a statement released by Barcelona, “a significant part of the blaugrana squad is affected by a viral gastroenteritis.”
It was anticipated that a big number of people would watch the match at Levi’s Stadium, which has a capacity of 68,500 and is the home of the San Francisco 49ers. The match is part of the Soccer Champions Tour and will include six of the best teams from Europe.
The match between Barcelona and Arsenal from the Premier League is planned to take place on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The following week, on Saturday, Barcelona will compete against their rivals from Real Madrid in Dallas.
On August 1, in Las Vegas, Barca will play their last game of the trip, which will be against AC Milan.
