La Liga champions Barcelona have this week seen an outflux of talent from the club’s first-team ranks.
This of course comes ahead of the upcoming round of September international fixtures.
Barca are for their part fresh off dropping their first points of the season this past weekend, owing to a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.
Fresh off as much, a whole host of the Blaugrana’s leading performers, in turn, jetted off around the globe, to link up with their respective national teams.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has called upon six members of Hansi Flick’s squad, namely Pau Cubarsí, Pedri, Fermín López, Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal.
Elsewhere, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski have all been selected for upcoming European World Cup qualifiers, too.
Summer signing Roony Bardghji is in Sweden’s latest U21 squad, whilst Raphinha and Ronald Araújo have departed for South America, to join up with Brazil and Uruguay respectively.
