According to Sport, Xavi Hernandez plans to give another young Barcelona talent a chance.
It’s been a season of emerging talent for Barcelona . Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi have established themselves as key players for the first team, despite being only 16 and 17 years old respectively. Meanwhile, Hector Fort, Fermin Lopez and Marc Guiu also made significant contributions when given the opportunity
The next young player set to make his Barcelona debut is Mikayil Faye. The Senegalese midfielder is expected to leave in the summer , as his path to the first team faces many obstacles. Barca has many options including Ronald Araujo, Cubarsi, Jules Kounde and Inigo Martinez.
Faye is about to be given her chance.
However, he is still highly rated by Xavi Hernandez, who intends to let the 19-year-old star play in the coming weeks , according to Sport. Barca’s away trip to Cadiz in 2 weeks will be the perfect opportunity for Faye to play. It was between the legs of the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, and with Martinez suspended, the teenager had the opportunity to start.
The move to trust Faye is to help this young midfielder realize that he is still important to the team. Barca is aware of protecting its “home chicken”.
