Barca's new era, led by recently-appointed boss and former midfielder Luis Enrique, begins at the St George's Park complex.

The facilities, used by all of the England squads, will offer their stars a choice of 12 pitches including a full-size indoor surface.

The four-time European champions are staying in the Midlands until Saturday, in one of the first get together under Enrique.

The Catalan club will also make use of a sports science centre and state-of-the-art leisure facilities on the £105million site.
