Xavi takes a check on Noah Darvich in Barcelona training

Barcelona new boy Noah Darvich was called up to train with the team’s senior stars on Thursday as Xavi took a check on the 16-year-old.

The Catalan giants are preparing for a trip to Villarreal in La Liga this weekend, with Darvich one of several youngsters taking part in the session.

Darvich seemed to relish the opportunity too. He posted a picture from the session on Instagram with the captain: “First workout with the big ones ”

Darvich seems to have made a bright start to life with Barca. He impressed on his debut for Barca Atletic in pre-season and will be hoping to shine again at the weekend when the team open up their league campaign.
