Yamal, Garrido & Casado: The six Barça youngsters picked for first team tour

Xavi will cast his eye over some of the club's academy players during the trip to the United States

Barcelona travel to the United States this week to begin a tour that will see them face Juventus, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Milan in different cities and which will serve to start testing the team that next season hopes to fight for every trophy. Xavi will announce the official squad list late on Tuesday, the day before they are due to board the plane.

In addition to all the players who have a first-team registration, including those who are negotiating their future away from the club, the coach has also decided to include, barring any last-minute changes, six youngsters who will have the opportunity to prove that they will be there when the first team needs them.

Among them is Marc Casadó, who is the only canterano who was also part of the touring squad last year. The midfielder will be back with along with Aleix Garrido, Astralaga, Álex Valle and Lamine Yamal. In addition, one of Barça Atlètic's recent signings, Senegalese centre-back Mika Faye, will also be travelling.
