Spain have detailed their plans for Barcelona teenager Ansu Fati after he was not called up for the Under-17 World Cup in Brazil.
Ansu has starred for Barcelona this season and is now eligible to play for Spain after gaining citizenship, but La Roja are keen for him to make an impact at a higher level.
Youth team sporting director Francisco Hernandez said Ansu could get a call-up in November when both the senior team and the Under-21 side are in action.
“The decision we have taken, in this case made by the sports management, is for the player not to come to the U17 World Cup.
