Last updated : 24 May 2011 By Utd Mad Ed

The Spanish champions were originally going to fly out on Thursday for this weekend’s Champions League final at Wembley, but they are not taking the risk of being stranded.

A Barca statement read: "To avoid possible disruption due to ash from the volcano Grimsvotn, the Barca first team will travel to London today at 2200hrs."

Barca spokesman Toni Freixa will make a press conference from the Nou Camp at 1700 local time to keep supporters up to date with the situation.
