"Manager Juliano Belletti's Barça Atletic has been heavily depleted, recently relying almost solely on winter signing Joaquin Delgado up front, alongside youth-registered Nuhu Fofana. The injury bug has sidelined several key figures, including Dani Rodriguez, Ibrahim Diarra, and, most recently, Oscar Gistau. Although Víctor Barbera has finally returned to field work, the ripple effect has deeply impacted Pol Planas' Juvenil A side, forcing the manager to reinvent Adrian Guerrero as a makeshift number nine."
"Tavares isn't the only fresh face slated to bolster the youth attack. The club's other winter attacking addition, 18-year-old Hamza Abdelkarim, has left excellent impressions in training but is currently delayed by administrative hurdles. The Egyptian striker has temporarily returned to his home country to expedite the bureaucratic process for his work permit. Because of his lack of recent competitive rhythm, the club plans to register him with Juvenil A first once his paperwork clears."
Barcelona completed the signing of 16-year-old AJay Tavares from Norwich City, with an official announcement expected within hours and training due to start on Monday. The arrival addresses deep injury problems across the club’s developmental categories, which left Juliano Belletti's Barça Atletic heavily depleted and forced Pol Planas' Juvenil A to deploy Adrian Guerrero as a makeshift number nine. Several youth players, including Dani Rodriguez, Ibrahim Diarra and Oscar Gistau, are sidelined. Victor Barbera has returned to training while Shane Kluivert gains reserve minutes. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Hamza Abdelkarim impressed in training but remains delayed by work-permit paperwork and will join Juvenil A first.
