From the source

La Masia continues to be the saviour whenever the Barcelona first team find themselves struggling with injuries. The Barcelona academy has been very productive over the past half-decade, with a number of first-team stars having come through the youth ranks.

After a difficult week marked by defeats to PSG and Real Madrid and further injuries, Hansi Flick could give yet another youngster an opportunity against Deportivo Alaves.

16-year-old Ebrima Tunkara has been called up to Barcelona’s squad for tonight’s La Liga encounter. Having spent much of pre-season with Flick’s first team, the teenager has received an opportunity in Dani Olmo’s absence.
