García Pimienta ‘convinced’ Ansu Fati and Carles Perez will join him at Barcelona B

Barcelona B coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta is not expecting Ansu Fati and Carles Perez to remain with the first team for the rest of the season.

The two youngsters have played key roles for Ernesto Valverde’s team in the early weeks of the campaign and filled in well when Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele were out injured.

Yet the trio’s return to fitness has seen Ansu and Perez out of the team in recent weeks, although the duo have continued to train with the first-team squad.

García Pimienta says he has not been told that the two players will step down from the first team but does believe they will be part of his Barcelona B squad before long.
