Barcelona B left-back Grimaldo could join first team for Supercups

Barcelona is not very deep right now in the full-back department due to injuries, so coach Luis Enrique might have to turn to his youth squad for replacements.

Reports from Catalan media on Saturday suggest that the coaching staff is strongly considering a call-up of Barça B left-back Alejandro Grimaldo to be on the squad for the European and Spanish Super Cups, which will all be contested within the next 10-12 days. Starting left-back Jordi Alba will be out for that exact period, and his backup, Adriano Correia, is running out of time to recover from a thigh strain, and his fitness is a huge question mark for Tuesday's match against Sevilla.
