FC Barcelona are preparing to welcome Chapecoense on Monday for the Joan Gamper Trophy match at Camp Nou, but they're doing so without Thomas Vermaelen and Andre Gomes. 

Both players picked up injuries in Friday's 1-1 draw against Gimnastic de Tarragona and were unable to train with the rest of their team-mates on Saturday. 

Vermaelen was substituted after just 16 minutes, while Gomes, who came on in the second half, was also forced off early. 

Barça have not yet confirmed the extent of either players' injury, but both are doubts for the match against Chapecoense, the final game before the Super Cup against Real Madrid. 

 

Paco Alcacer's late goal sealed the draw against Nastic, a game which did not feature any of Aleix Vidal, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Ivan Rakitic or Luis Suarez.
