Barcelona plans to increase Hamza Abdelkarim's first-team role this season
Summary

Barcelona is set to gradually raise Hamza Abdelkarim's involvement in the first team following his first senior goal for Egypt. The 19-year-old striker's development is viewed positively, leading the club to keep him close rather than loaning him out despite summer interest. While he has made limited appearances so far, the coaching staff believes he can become a key player for the future. Barcelona aims for him to participate in 10 to 15 first-team matches this season, allowing him to gain experience without overwhelming him.
