Barcelona calls up three youngsters for Manchester United clash

Xavi has called up three youth players for the match between FC Barcelona and Manchester United.

To cover for the injured Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembélé, Xavi has leaned on his youngsters.

He has called on two Barcelona Atlètic players: Marc Casadó and Estanis Pedrola. In addition, Ángel Alarcón has been called up again. Alarcón, a winger, has been a part of the team’s matchday squads since Dembélé went down injured.

Alarcón, 18, has already debuted with the first team this season, playing in the Copa del Rey.

Casadó, 19, is a defensive midfielder and could cover for Busquets.
