Barcelona youngster trains with Hansi Flick’s squad ahead of Benfica | OneFootball

An up-and-coming member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona was spotted in training alongside Hansi Flick’s star-studded squad on Monday.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Noah Darvich as the player in question.

Darvich, for those not familiar with his name, is a versatile 18-year-old midfielder, who generally operates in an advanced role through the middle.

The German is currently plying his trade with Barca Atlètic, for whom he has featured on 17 occasions in league play this season.

Following the January departure of Unai Hernández for Saudi Arabia, Darvich was drafted into Barcelona’s Champions League squad for the 2nd half of the term.

And as alluded to above, two days out from the Blaugrana’s meeting with Benfica, the youngster was afforded a call-up to senior training once more.

As per a report from Diario Sport:

‘Darvich was the novelty of Monday’s training session for the team led by Hansi Flick. We will have to see if this ‘call-up’ has continuity and Darvich enters the squad for Lisbon.’
