Flick hopeful Barcelona teenager can be registered ahead of Rayo Vallecano clash

FC Barcelona play their third La Liga game of the season on Sunday night when they take on Rayo Vallecano away from home at Estadio de Vallecas.

The Catalans went through their first two matches without being able to count on Gerard Martin, Wojciech Szczesny, and Roony Bardghji, as they were not registered in the competition.

On Friday, though, the Blaugrana completed the registration of Martin, with the left-back now set to be included in the squad list for the trip to Vallecas.

Hansi Flick hopes Bardghji can also be registered

Now, according to journalist Sergi Capdevila, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is hopeful that teenage winger Roony Bardghji can also be registered in time for the game against Rayo Vallecano.

The 19-year-old winger trained with the first-team squad today in the final session before the trip to Vallecas, indicating that there is hope he can travel with the rest of the group.

Bardghji joined Barcelona in the summer, arriving from FC Copenhagen in a deal worth around €2.5 million. The winger was one of the standouts in the pre-season tour of Asia, catching everyone’s eye with his exciting displays.

Having been left out for the first two matches due to registration issues, Bardghji played a friendly game for Barça Atletic earlier this month and scored a wonderful goal from the penalty spot.

Now training with the senior team, manager Flick hopes that the club can take care of his registration soon so as to have the teenage attacker available at his disposal for tomorrow’s game.
