Who is Guillem Victor? Barcelona full-back in line for senior debut vs Alaves
The full-back could make his debut against Alaves.
Before Barcelona’s LaLiga match against Deportivo Alaves on Saturday, Hansi Flick has reportedly called up Barcelona Atlètic right-back Guillem Victor to first-team training.
The German coach will be without his starting right-back for the upcoming clash, as Jules Kounde is still unable to train with the team due to an ankle ailment. While Flick evaluated possible fixes for the team’s escalating defensive issues, the primary newcomer to Barcelona’s training session on Thursday was Guillem Victor.
The inclusion of the Barça Atlètic right-back, who has been a regular starter for the reserve team this season, suggests that the first-team coaching staff are considering promoting him to the senior squad for the match.
