Barcelona’s preparations for their upcoming Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro have been full of activity and some intriguing developments.
One notable update involves Dani Rodríguez, a promising Barça Atletic youth player.
According to Adrián Sánchez, Rodríguez was present today at Barça Atletic’s training session, having not been able to be called up with the first team due to a suspension carried over from the last Copa del Rey Juvenil.
This setback has temporarily prevented him from participating in the first official match.
Barcelona has finished its last session
Barcelona’s last training session for the Copa del Rey match took place at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper in the midst of an intense discussion in the media, focused mainly on the cases of discharges of the players Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.
Despite this external pressure, the team has remained focused on its preparations.
The highlight of the training sessions has been the inclusion of Toni Fernández, another brilliant talent from the quarry. Toni joined the group today, taking advantage of his growing profile within the club.
Since his debut at just 16 years old during Barcelona’s tour of the United States, he has caught the attention of coach Hansi Flick, who highly values his potential.
Injuries may have slowed his progress earlier this season, but the young midfielder is now primed to play a major role.
Toni could appear but Dani cannot
Toni is expected to feature prominently in the upcoming match against Barbastro. This game could serve as a platform for him to showcase his skills in an official environment 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 fixture offers an ideal opportunity for him to shine.
Unfortunately, while Toni hopes to showcase his talent, Dani Rodríguez must deal with his suspension.
Despite this temporary hurdle, he remains an important part of Barça Atletic and will no doubt look to contribute once he is eligible.
