According to SPORT, Hansi Flick has called up Barça Atletic right-back Guillem Victor to first-team training as Barcelona explore their academy options ahead of Saturday’s La Liga meeting with Alaves.
With Jules Kounde still unable to train with the group because of an ankle injury, the German coach is preparing for the possibility of being without his first-choice right-back once again.
Guillem Victor was the main new face in Barcelona’s training session on Thursday, as Flick assessed potential solutions to the club’s growing defensive problems. The Barça Atletic right-back has been a regular starter for the reserve team this season, and his inclusion suggests the first-team coaching staff are considering him for a possible senior call-up.
