Xavi drops Barcelona wonderkid after lack of first team appearances

Barcelona’s 21-man squad for Sunday’s La Liga fixture against Sevilla is a familiar one, although there is one name that has been ever-present that is missing. Pablo Torre has been a regular inclusion of Xavi Hernandez’s squads this season, but he will be absent for the match at the Camp Nou.

Instead, the teenager will play for Barca Atletic in their Primera Federacion fixture against Cornella on Saturday. Despite having regular been a part of Xavi’s squad for the first team, Torre has barely played, and the decision has been made to demote him.
