Barcelona youngster registered with first-team after return from loan | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have this week registered an up-and-coming member of the club’s defensive ranks as a first-team player for the season ahead.

The Blaugrana starlet in question? Héctor Fort.

Defender Fort is for his part fresh off a temporary spell away from Catalunya’s capital, with Barcelona’s La Liga rivals, Elche. The youngster’s time in Alicante was heavily impacted by injury, restricting Fort to just 17 appearances all told.

Across these outings, though, the versatile full-back continued to showcase his unquestionable talents, particularly in the attacking third. Despite his lack of minutes, Fort managed to directly contribute to five goals in Elche colours.

The 19-year-old has since returned to base in Barcelona, no doubt eager to stay put to fight for his place in Hansi Flick’s squad for the season ahead.

And as alluded to above, this week, the Blaugrana have dropped a first hint that this could well prove to be the case…

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘Héctor Fort is the first Barcelona player to be registered again after his loan spell at Elche. The 19-year-old is already registered as an FC Barcelona player on LaLiga’s website.’
