Official: Gavi named among four Barcelona players for the Spanish national team

Barcelona’s La Masia continues to produce talented players across all fronts, and Gavi is another name that has joined the prestigious list of brilliant midfielders from the academy. Playing six games across two competitions for Barça, he is about to add yet another feather to his cap.

The 17-year-old has been named for the senior Spanish National Team squad for the International break in October. Spain will take on Italy in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals on 6th October.

Returning from injury, Pedri, too, has been named in the squad and unsurprisngly so. Sergio Busquets and Eric Garcia round off the list of four players called up for the national team.

Gavi could become the second-youngest player ever to represent Spain if he gets time, beating Angel Zubieta by more than seven months. He will also become the third Barcelona teenager to play for Spain in the last year.
