18-year-old Barcelona talent trains under Hansi Flick along with six other new faces | OneFootball

With the international break underway, a large number of Barcelona first-team players are away with their respective national teams for the next 10-14 days.

As such, there was a large contingent of youth and reserve players called up to training by manager Hansi Flick for today’s session.

Jofre Torrents among seven new faces in training

As reported by Toni Juanmarti, Flick called up as many as seven new players to train with the first team today.

Indeed, full-backs Jofre Torrents, Joan Anaya, and Landre Farry, versatile defender Alexis Olmedo, midfielder Ruben Lopez, winger Raul Dacosta, and goalkeeper Eder Aller were called up to train by the first-team manager.

Torrents’ presence is certainly noteworthy considering how highly he is rated within the club.

The 18-year-old La Masia talent is seen as someone who can be the first-team left-back for the next decade or so.

Currently a part of the Juvenil A setup, Torrents has been involved with Barça Atletic in recent weeks having returned from an injury.

Having made his debut for the reserve team this past weekend against Tarazona, Torrents has now been called up for his first-ever training session with the senior team under Hansi Flick.

Barcelona are set to play in the Copa Catalunya later this week, facing RCD Espanyol in the semi-final.

With more than ten first-team stars away on international duty, a large number of reserve team players are likely to be involved in the match.

It will be interesting to see if senior players like Gavi, Eric Garcia, Inaki Pena, and Alejandro Balde, who are not on national team duty, are used by the manager or not.
