FC Barcelona surprised supporters on matchday by naming reserve-team players Guillem Víctor and Ebrima Tunkara in Hansi Flick's squad for tonight's La Liga clash with Deportivo Alaves at Spotify Camp Nou, according to Yahoo Sports.
The inclusion of the two young players marks a notable change from Barcelona's usual matchday lineup, signaling that Flick is willing to dip into the club's lower ranks for squad depth.
Details on how much playing time, if any, the pair might see were not specified in the squad release, but their presence alone has drawn attention from fans following the club closely ahead of kickoff.
