Barcelona defensive talent not in first-team training ahead of Sevilla clash | OneFootball

A while ago, FC Barcelona began their final training session in the lead-up to Sunday’s La Liga encounter against Sevilla away from home.

Having lost their previous match against PSG in the UEFA Champions League, the Blaugrana will be intent on bouncing back to winning ways immediately.

However, they will have to do so without some very important players, including Lamine Yamal, who has now joined Gavi, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez on the sidelines.

Jofre Torrents not training

Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, young defender Jofre Torrents was not working with the senior setup in the final training session before the match against Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan in a significant development

It seems to be a technical decision by manager Hansi Flick, and after nine official matches with the first team, Torrents has returned to training with Barça Atletic.

After all, Alejandro Balde returned to full fitness and made his comeback from injury as a substitute against PSG earlier this week.

With Gerard Martin also available, the left-back position is well-covered, and it makes sense for Torrents to work with Barça Atletic, and gain some minutes under his belt, having barely featured with the senior team.

In all, Torrents has made three appearances for Barcelona, clocking up a total of 83 minutes.

Meanwhile, during the first minutes of the open training session, Fermin was also absent, as was Lamine, who, following the recurrence of his pubic injury, worked separately in the gym.
