Still not registered, Barcelona minus Rashford in the inaugural match of La Liga

Gilabola.com – Barcelona is likely to minus Marcus Rashford in the inaugural match against Real Mallorca, early Sunday morning August 17, 2025, due to registration affairs to the uncertain La Liga.

After a 5-0 victory over Como in the Joan Gamper trophy, Barca is now diverting their focus on the inaugural match of the 2025 2026 season, where they will travel to the Los Berllones headquarters.

However, ahead of this match, Barca is still overshadowed by uncertainty about the involvement of their new players in the match, namely Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford.
