Barcelona will not train on Tuesday as the club joins the strike across Catalonia

Barcelona's players and staff will join a strike called across Catalonia on Tuesday in protest at a violent crackdown by police of an independence referendum in the region on Sunday.

"FC Barcelona joins the country wide strike called for by Table for Democracy and therefore the club will be closed tomorrow," Barcelona said in a club statement on Monday.

"None of the professional teams or the youth teams at FC Barcelona will train tomorrow."
