A number of up-and-coming academy talents were again spotted in senior training in Barcelona on Wednesday.
Specifically, as per Mundo Deportivo, all of Diego Kochen, Eder Aller, Jofre Torrents, Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández, Toni Fernández and Xavi Espart were called upon by Hansi Flick.
After a day of rest on Tuesday, Barcelona’s squad reconvened at the Ciutat Esportiva this morning.
As much came amid preparations for a return to action this weekend, when the Blaugrana will set about putting their Clásico disappointment behind them, in a La Liga meeting with newly-promoted Elche.
The headline news of the session was the absence of Pedri, since confirmed to have picked up an injury which will keep the Spanish international sidelined for several weeks.
Amid an ongoing injury crisis in Catalunya’s capital, the aforementioned sextet of youngsters therefore made up the numbers once more.
All six actually took their places on the bench at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, though none were ultimately introduced to proceedings.
