Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has reportedly forced Luis Suarez to train on his own ahead of his expected departure.
The 33-year-old striker has been told that he is not in the new manager's plans as Koeman looks to usher in a new era after a trophyless and turbulent 2019-20 campaign.
Suarez is understood to have agreed terms with Italian champions Juventus ahead of a potential move, but still needs to negotiate his exit from Barcelona.
The Uruguayan international still has a year remaining on his contract but is discussing a severance package which could allow him to leave for free this summer.
ESPN reports that Koeman has forced him to train away from the main group while he sorts out his situation.
The report claims that Arturo Vidal has also been banished from training with the rest of the squad as he nears a switch to Inter Milan.
Koeman is currently without captain Lionel Messi too, with the six-time Ballon d'Or winner yet to return to training following his transfer request and subsequent reluctant U-turn.
