"I always count on the young players like Nico Gonzalez, Gavi, Yusuf Demir, Alex Balde, and they will continue training with us. They need to play matches if they don't play with the first team," Ronald Koeman said in the press conference ahead of Athletic Bilbao.
"I see a lot of future in these young players. If there are options or possibilities, we will give them those chances because they are the future.
"I'm very happy to have so many young players training with the first team. I think that’s important for us."
All four youngsters remain part of Barcelona B but have been called up for the upcoming match with Barcelona.
Out of the four, only Nico played in the previous match against Real Sociedad. However, Balde, Gavi and Demir enjoyed a lot of playing time during the pre-season.
