La Masia prodigy set for long awaited Barcelona debut against Valladolid – report

Barcelona could witness the birth of another La Masia success story tonight, as Dani Rodriguez is expected to make his first-team debut against Real Valladolid.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Hansi Flick is set to rotate his squad heavily ahead of a key Champions League clash against Inter Milan, and Rodríguez is among the youngsters tipped to get minutes.

Ahead of the game, three promising youth talents — Dani Rodriguez, Landry Farre, and Noah Darvich — were involved in first-team training.

Flick’s plan is to reward their hard work by giving at least one of them their debut, with Rodriguez being the frontrunner.

The 19-year-old winger is highly rated by Flick, who has followed his development closely and has included him in several training sessions with the senior side already.
