The Catalans played last season away from their iconic stadium due to renovation and extension works.

The plan to extend the stadium's capacity to 105,000 people got off to a poor start when they blew through their November 2024 target to return.

The site was also not completed in time for their revised return date of May's El Clasico.

They once again pushed back their return and hoped to play their friendly against Como there on August 10, but were forced to play it at the 6,000-seat Estadi Johan Cruyff instead.

Their first three bouts of the season had been scheduled away from home to facilitate Barcelona 's completion of the first phase of renovations .

They now face a race against time to receive the correct permits and licenses to open the stadium at a limited capacity for their home match against Valencia on September 14.

The recent developments of flooding in the stadium have struck another blow to the Blaugrana in that race .

Previously leaked video last month showed the extent of the work still left to be done at the ground, and getting everything ready for a mid-September opening feels more and more of a tall order each day.

If they are not able to secure a spot at the Nou Camp then they will be forced to revisit the Estadi Johan Cruyff, a ground primarily used for reserve and women's games.

This is not the news English forward Marcus Rashford was hoping to hear as he awaits his home debut with the club.

Rashford joined the legendary Spanish giants on a one-year loan deal from Manchester United last month.

He made his league debut off the bench at the weekend in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Mallorca.
