Barcelona trialist Yeison Tolosa caught up in terror attacks

Barcelona trialist Yeison Tolosa was caught up in the city's terror attacks last week.

The Deportivo Cali youngster has been training with Barcelona's A youth team this month.

Sport reports Tolosa was in a car when he saw a speeding white van go past him along the central promenade. The footballer left his cab and took refuge in a nearby store where he spent two hours.

Tolosa was unable to reach Barca officials on his phone with all mobile networks turned off. When given the all-clear, Tolosa found himself in another cab at a check point where a car driven by one of the terrorists was spotted.

Eventually, he made it to La Masia safely, but was understandably affected by the experience.
