Recently, "Daily Sports" talked about the shortage of personnel on Barcelona's offensive line. They said that youth training youngster Tony Fernandez may appear in Barcelona's game against Girona.

Tony Fernandez has only 9 minutes of official appearances in the Barcelona first team. He is one of the youth training players promoted by Flick. However, his debut was in the Copa del Rey last season, and he has not made an appearance this season.

Given the injuries on Barcelona’s offensive line, Toni may become an option for Barcelona against Girona. He is ready for the challenge and he proved his quality with two goals in the Spanish U18 national team's 3-1 win over Türkiye U18 in the Four Nations.

The game was tied at 1-1 when Tony Fernandez came on for Daniel Fernandez in the second half. In the 50th minute, he scored a precise shot in the penalty area and broke the opponent's goal, rewriting the score to 1-2. In the 64th minute, he completed another exquisite cooperation with Quintero and then calmly shot to seal the victory.

Several other Barcelona youth players also participated in this game: Lorenzo John started the game, Alex Campos also came on as a substitute in the second half, Neil Tessidore played for half an hour, and Dro played in the final stage of the game.

With Olmo injured in the national team, Flick faces a problem, as neither Fermin nor Raphinha is expected to recover in time for the game against Girona. The German coach can choose to use Casado in midfield and move Pedri forward, or use Ferran Torres or Rashford as an attacker behind the striker.

If Flick considers looking for a solution from the youth academy, he can trust DeRo, or give Toni Fernandez, who has not yet had a chance this season but is in good form, a chance to make an appearance.
