FC Barcelona | La Masia is Empty

According to Mundodeportivo.

Background

Orian Goren, just 17 years old, will make his debut with the Israeli U-21 national team. This is a big step in his career, and it is hoped that he can make a positive contribution to his team. Goren is one of the promising young talents from the La Masia academy, who is currently adapting to the situation in the Pro League.

Why this is important

The vacancy of players from the FC Barcelona academy, especially at Barça Atlètic and Juvenil A, shows the significant impact of international call-ups. With around 20 young players involved in international competitions, these teams have had to adapt to a lack of resources. This is also an important moment for Orian Goren, who will make his debut at international level at a young age.

The stoppage for international matches was not only felt by FC Barcelona's first team, but also affected the club's youth football. The La Masia Academy is currently experiencing a vacancy because many young players have been selected to represent their countries. This has a big influence, especially on the Barça Atlètic team. Several players from the Juvenil A team have also been called up by their national teams, although competition in the Division de Honor has been temporarily suspended to make way for international matches.

Around 20 players from the FC Barcelona coaching system are currently on international call-ups. Seven players have been called up to the Spanish U-19 national team. Of these, only Nil Teixidor, right-back from Juvenil A, is not included in the Barça Atlètic squad. The other players selected were Iker Rodríguez, Àlex Campos, Pedro Villar, Pedro Rodríguez, Joni Hernández, and Òscar Gistau. They gathered in Marbella on Monday and are scheduled to return to Barcelona today. However, they only have one day to prepare for the match against Peña Sport.

Barça Atlètic coach, Belletti, now has to face a number of important absences ahead of the fourth week of the league. The team experienced a shortage of players and even had to train with the first team in several sessions. A worse situation was faced by Juvenil A, who had to undergo training sessions almost individually.

During this period, Orian Goren, one of the young talents, will make his debut with the Israeli U-21 national team at a very young age, namely 17 years old. He will play against Slovenia and Norway. On the other hand, Jesse Bisiwu, a key midfielder, will also miss the next two matches because he was called up by the Belgian U-21 national team for the matches against Belarus, Wales and Denmark.

Catovic, one of this summer's new recruits, is also gathering with his national team, namely Germany U-20, to face France, Italy and England. The German team recently lost in the European Championship final to Spain, which also included star players such as Xavi Espart. Apart from that, Ibrahim Diarra was also selected to represent Mali U-23 and will compete in two friendly matches against Morocco and Burkina Faso.

Other international players from Barcelona include Nico Marcipar who was called up to the Argentina U-19 national team, Danny Freire who represents Portugal U-17, Ajay Tavares for England U-17, and Artem Rybak who was recently called up to the Ukraine U-17 national team. This shows that FC Barcelona continues to produce young talents who are ready to compete at the international level.

What happened next

After returning from the national team training camp, Barça Atlètic will face Peña Sport with only one day of preparation. Coach Belletti must overcome the shortage of players and may call up some players from the first team to help. Meanwhile, Orian Goren is expected to show his potential at international level when playing against Eslovenia and Norway.
