Barca Atletic coach Rafa Marquez wants Pablo Torres to play two games in 24hrs

Barca Atletic coach Rafa Marquez wants Pablo Torres to face Real Murcia on Saturday.

The Cantabrian has only made one appearance for the B team, on September 24 against Real Murcia, and this Friday (8:00 p.m.) he plays a match with the Spain U-21 side, a friendly against Japan in La Cartuja.

Despite that, Márquez's intention is for Torre to join the team for the match between Barça and Athletic Bilbao reserves on Saturday at the Estadi Johan Cruyff at 7:00 p.m.

Torre will be accompanied by goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, already used to traveling on the same day of the game. He has done it more than once when he has been called up with the first team, for example, such as a few weeks ago at Mestalla and the next day Barça Atletic faced Cornellà.

Marquez is short of players because five youngsters (Barberá, Ilias, Garrido, Valle and Fabio) play a friendly against Japan on Saturday at the Pinatar Arena with Spain U19s.
