FC Barcelona's manager Hansi Flick has made his first choices for the new La Liga season. The team will face Elche in their opening match. Jesse Bisiwu has been left out of the selection, despite scoring twice in a friendly match against FC Basel during the pre-season. Hamza Abdelkarim, however, has been included in the selection. This suggests that Abdelkarim is currently preferred over Bisiwu. The competition for young players at FC Barcelona is intense, with established players like Karim Adeyemi, Anthony Gordon, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal vying for places. Rodri, one of Barcelona's big summer signings, is also not in the selection. This raises questions about the competition for places. As a result, Bisiwu may have to start in the reserve team for now. FC Barcelona begins the new season as reigning champions, with their next match against Elche on Sunday evening.
