They had PCR tests because they will train with the first team from Monday

Barcelona start training for the new season from Monday and some Barca B players will be present. They are goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, defenders Jorge Cuenca and Sergio Akieme, midfielder Ilaix Moriba and forward Konrad de la Fuente. They had PCR tests with the other first team players on Sunday.

Tenas will be the third keeper, while Ter Stegen recovers from a knee injury - he might not be back until November. Cuenca is another left-footed centre-back - Barca only have Umtiti, who is not wanted - while Akieme is a left-back.

Ilaix is the most interesting name. At 17 he's still a Juvenil player but has caught Koeman's attention for his box-to-box capacity. Konrad adds speed on the wing.

They join Inaki Pena, Araujo, Riqui Puig and Ansu Fati among other youths in the first team. Perhaps surprisingly, Monchu and Oriol Busquets are not included, nor Collado (injured).
