Barcelona outlines development plan for Jesse Bisiwu amid visa delays

Summary

Barcelona's plans for Jesse Bisiwu remain unaffected by a visa delay preventing his participation in La Liga. Currently training with Barça Atlètic, the 18-year-old is expected to gain match experience while awaiting his registration clearance. This arrangement allows him to adapt to the team's style of play and maintain competitive readiness. Bisiwu was not included in the squad for the La Liga opener against Elche due to this bureaucratic hold-up, but he is slated to start in a friendly against Reus. Once the visa situation is resolved, Bisiwu is set to rejoin the first-team setup under coach Hansi Flick.
