How we label and update stories

Source context

The brother of ex-Barcelona star Pau Víctor was afforded a call-up to training alongside the rest of Hansi Flick’s senior squad on Thursday morning. This comes as the Blaugrana coaching staff work to cover for the ongoing personnel crisis in the club’s defensive ranks. Ahead of their upcoming weekend meeting with Deportivo Alavés, Barca are currently unable to count on any of Andreas Christensen, Eric García, Jules Koundé or Xavi Espart. Amid efforts to bounce back from a pair of successive defeats in all competitions, Hansi Flick has therefore turned his focus towards the academy setup in Catalunya’s capital.
