The Dutch head coach has admitted to having apprehensions about relying on youth to get through a testing senior injury crisis
Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has explained his reluctance to field too many young players while giving a positive update on Ansu Fati's recovery from long-term injury.
Koeman is currently dealing with something of an injury crisis at Camp Nou, with the likes of Ansu, Sergino Dest, Sergio Aguero, Martin Braithwaite and Ousmane Dembele all currently sidelined.
Pedri and Jordi Alba added to the Dutchman's injury woes after picking up respective knocks in Barca's 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday, but he has no plans to dip into the academy for extra reinforcements.
