MADRID, July 19 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has named a 29-man squad for his side's pre-season visit to the United States.

Barca fly to California on Thursday afternoon, where they will play Juventus, Arsenal, Real Madrid and AC Milan, before returning to Spain on August 2 to face Tottenham in their traditional Joan Gamper pre-season tournament six days later.

New signings Ilkay Gundogan, Oriol Romeu and Inigo Martinez are all included in the travelling party, although Martinez, who joined as a free agent after running down his contract at Athletic Club Bllbao, is still recovering from a foot injury, which limited him last season.

Central defender Clement Lenglet, who spent last season on loan at Tottenham, and Moroccan international winger Ez Abde, who is back after a successful season with Osasuna, are also in the tour.

Furthermore, Xavi has called six players from Barca's B-team: goalkeeper Ander Astralaga, Alex Valle, Marc Casado, Mikayil Faye, Aleix Garrido and Lamine Yamal, who last season made his Barca first team debut before celebrating his 16th birthday.

Following is the full squad:

Goalkeepers: Ter Stegen, Inaki Pena, Astralaga

Defenders: Araujo, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Kounde, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, Lenglet, Mika Faye, Valle y Julian Araujo

Midfielders: Oriol Romeu, Pedri, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, De Jong, Gundogan, Gavi, Casado, Fermin y Aleix Garrido

Forwards: Dembele, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Raphinha y Lamine Yamal, Ez Abde. Enditem
