Report – Reason why 19-year-old Barcelona academy gem will not be called up vs Barbastro | OneFootball

Barcelona’s preparations for their upcoming Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro have been filled with activity and some intriguing developments.

One notable update involves Dani Rodriguez, a promising youth player from Barça Atletic.

According to Adrian Sanchez, Rodriguez was present at training with Barça Atletic today, unable to be called up for the first team due to a suspension carried over from last season’s Copa del Rey Juvenil.

This setback has temporarily sidelined him from participating in the first official match.

A highlight of the training sessions has been the inclusion of Toni Fernandez, another bright talent from the academy. Toni joined the group today, building on his rising profile within the club.

Since his debut at just 16 years old during Barcelona’s United States tour, he has caught the attention of manager Hansi Flick, who values his potential highly.

Injuries may have delayed his progress earlier this season, but the young midfielder is now poised for a significant role.

Toni could feature by Dani cannot

Toni is expected to feature prominently in the upcoming match against Barbastro. This game could serve as a platform for him to display his abilities in an official setting and further establish himself as a vital player for the team.

With his skill and determination, Toni is seen as a key figure for Barcelona’s future, and the Copa del Rey encounter offers an ideal opportunity for him to shine.

Unfortunately, while Toni looks forward to showcasing his talent, Dani Rodriguez must contend with his suspension.

Despite this temporary hurdle, he remains an important part of Barça Atletic and will undoubtedly aim to contribute once eligible.
