Barcelona have defensive issues ahead of Thursday’s rearranged La Liga match against Osasuna which has led Hansi Flick to once again look at the club’s young talents.
The German has called up Alexis Olmedo to first-team training for the last couple of days and the 19-year-old is now being tipped to make the squad for Barca’s next game.
Flick took a check on Olmedo in pre-season as he was included in the tour of the United States but didn’t feature in any of the friendlies.
He is a key player for Barçelona Atlètic but has struggled with injury this season and missed a chunk of the campaign with a stress fracture in his right femur.
