Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Co jet off to England ahead of pre-season training camp at St George's Park


The Barcelona players have jetted off to England ahead of their return to St George's Park for their pre-season training camp.
Spanish giants Barca, who secured the domestic double under Luis Enrique last term, will be based at the Staffordshire complex until July 30 before they travel to Dublin to face Celtic.
Lionel Messi, the star forward, and Co are en route to Birmingham as they gear up for their pre-season opener against the Parkhead outfit in the International Champions Cup.
Barcelona tweeted a video of the players making their way towards the departure gate before they boarded their plane to England.
Messi, sporting his new blond haircut, was in high spirits as he posed for a picture with fellow striker Luis Suarez on board their flight.
The former Liverpool star took to his Twitter account to post the picture, which he captioned: 'Taking off to England. Going on with the pre-season and my friend with his new look.
Enrique's Barca side will be training at the National Football Centre at St George's Park as part of their preparations for the new campaign.
The Spanish giants used the £105m facility in 2014, ahead of coach Enrique's first season in the Nou Camp hotseat.
After five days at St George's Park - home to England's 24 national teams - Barca will travel directly to Dublin for their opening pre-season friendly against Celtic in the International Champions Cup on July 30.
The reigning Spanish champions have also confirmed pre-season matches against Premier League champions Leicester City and last season's Europa League finalists Liverpool.

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
