Emerging Talents Mikayil Faye and Mamadou Mbacke Join Barça First Team Training Ahead of Rayo Vallecano Clash

Exciting developments at Barcelona as young talents Mikayil Faye and Mamadou Mbacke have joined the first-team training just two days before the La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano, as reported by Alex Pintanel.

This inclusion bodes well for the future prospects of the two players. While an immediate first-team opportunity may be unlikely, Xavi could potentially evaluate their skills come January, particularly with the commencement of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey campaign.

Both Faye and Mbacke have been in exceptional form for Barça Atletic, showcasing their prowess as a solid center-back duo under the guidance of Rafa Marquez.

Barcelona secured the services of these talented Senegalese defenders in the summer transfer window, with Faye’s acquisition costing €1.5 million, while Mbacke arrived on loan. The duo’s participation in first-team training signals a promising trajectory, providing a glimpse of the potential reinforcements Xavi may have at his disposal in the coming months.
