The plan for Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig at Barca

The plan for Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig at Barca

The two youth players will stay under Setien's command while the title is at stake

Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig and Ronald Araújo will stay under Quique Setien's command while the title is still on the line.

Unlike other players in the B team who have been training with the first team - Monchu, Collado, Morer, Cuenca and Iñaki Peña - the stars of that side will not change tack, despite Barca B's play-off to try and get out of Segunda B against Valladolid Promesas on July 19.

Riqui, Ansu and Ronald don't know when they will be able to link up with Garcia Pimienta again. Barca's season ends on the 19th against Alaves, with Real Madrid facing Leganes that day.

First Madrid play Granada on Monday and then Villarreal, while Barca welcome Osasuna on Thursday. If the title's over by the last day then the young players can feature in the play off, most likely.

Barca's B team head to Malaga for the play-off on Friday and it's up to Setien whether the trio will be in the party or not. It's very unlikely, after Griezmann's injury, that Ansu will go in any circumstance.
