Iker Rodriguez joins Barcelona's England training camp as Flick promotes youth

Summary

Iker Rodriguez, an 18-year-old goalkeeper from Barcelona, will participate in first-team training in England from July 27 to August 3 under coach Hansi Flick. His inclusion is set against uncertainty regarding Marc-Andre ter Stegen's future as he nears a loan to Ajax. Rodriguez, who has already trained with Flick, is expected to benefit from the exposure to senior coaching and professional players. He remains with the first-team camp instead of joining Barcelona Atletic for their preseason preparations, and is close to signing a new contract with the reserve team.
