Barcelona will lock horns with Real Valladolid on Saturday night in La Liga, in a game that is expected to see a plethora of alterations from manager Hansi Flick.
Indeed, with the team feeling the physical strain after exerting themselves against Real Madrid and Inter Milan over the past week and with another high-stakes clash vs the Nerazzurri coming up on Tuesday, changes are pretty much certain.
With Flick likely looking to rest some of his first-team regulars, there may be an opportunity for youngsters from the youth and reserve ranks to be a part of the Barcelona first-team squad for the trip to Valladolid.
As such, journalist Nacho Jimenez reports that Flick has called up three players from the Barça Atletic roster to train with the senior team ahead of tomorrow’s clash.
Indeed, Noah Darvich, Dani Rodriguez, and Landry Farre are all working with the first-team players and could be in with a chance to travel for Saturday’s game.

Darvich has now trained with the senior team for three days this week, having been called up before the Inter Milan clash and on Thursday morning as well.
Meanwhile, Dani Rodriguez, regarded as one of the most exciting young talents at La Masia trained under Flick’s command on Thursday.
Landry Farre, an 18-year-old right-back, has been asked to join them today following the injury to Jules Kounde which has left Flick short of natural options in the position.
It will be interesting to see if any or all three earn a call-up to the squad list for Barcelona’s trip to face the relegated Valladolid tomorrow.
