Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is set to give a La Masia academy graduate an opportunity in the upcoming La Liga match against Alaves this weekend, according to reports from Barca Universal.
The German coach has been monitoring the youngster's progress in training and believes the match against the Basque side presents the right moment to test the player at senior level.
Flick's willingness to promote youth aligns with Barcelona's traditional reliance on their famed academy, which has produced stars such as Lionel Messi, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta.
The identity of the La Masia star has not been disclosed, but speculation centers on several promising talents who have featured for the club's reserve team this season.
Barcelona currently sit in the top half of the La Liga table and will look to maintain their form against an Alaves side fighting to avoid relegation.
