Barca youngsters called into squad for PSG Champions League game

FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has called up 18-year-old Barca Atletic defender Alex Campos and Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarimmade to his squad ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie away to reigning European champion Paris Saint-Germain, reported Xinhua.

Flick is without three defenders - Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde - with Garcia and Kounde picking up injuries in Saturday's 5-2 win away to Real Betis.

Campos has been a regular starter for Barca Atletic this season and is described as a player who is reliable in his defensive duties, strong in the air and comfortable playing the ball out from the back.

Abdelkarim has featured for both the first team and the reserves this season since making his move from Al Ahly permanent. He played for Barca Atletic this past weekend in the RFEF Second Federation, the fourth tier of Spanish football, scoring in a 2-1 win over Utebo.
