Barcelona B coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta has been talking about Carles Alena and says he wants the midfielder to be part of the first team squad as soon as possible.
Alena missed the start of the season as he was still recovering from undergoing surgery back in June. He made his comeback in Barca B’s 1-0 win over Sabadell in September.
The midfielder has yet to feature for Ernesto Valverde’s first team, but Garcia Pimienta wants him with the senior side as soon as possible.
“Carles is a member of the first team but due to his injury he has a shirt with the B team,” he said.
