The 19-year-old cut his summer holiday short to attend the first day of pre-season training.
Preparations for the 2022/23 campaign began on Monday for Barcelona.
Manager Xavi Hernandez welcomed back a host of first-team stars at the 
club’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper complex. The players did their medical check-ups in the morning. At around 19:00 (CET) in the evening, they will head to the pitch to train for a new season.
Xavi will have a full squad available next week once the international players who represented their nations last month, such as Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong, return from their holidays.
