Barcelona coach Xavi says Pablo Torre will be staying with his squad this season.

The teenage signing from Racing Santander was not used in victory over Real Madrid on the weekend, though he did feature in the previous two preseason friendlies against Olot and Inter Miami.

Xavi said today: “Yes, he will be part of the first team dynamic. When we believe that he will not participate with the first team, he will play in the reserve team. He is of growing age.

"He is surprising us all

"He understands everything, he sees it quickly, he associates well, he has talent and a goal."
