Hamza Abdelkarim is officially off the roster for Barcelona’s clash with Real Betis this Saturday, folks. Instead, he is set to suit up and play for Juliano Belletti’s Barcelona Atletic squad. This is a move nobody saw coming for the promising striker!
The First Team Debacle
Look, the buzz around Barcelona has been loud for a minute about Abdelkarim’s role. He’s only seen a measly 12 minutes of action for Hansi Flick’s main side all season! That’s it! So, it’s no shocker that there’s been some serious debate bubbling up at the club about where he fits in. According to reports from Jijantes and Mundo Deportivo, Abdelkarim didn’t even train with the first team on Friday. He was already with Barca Atletic, getting ready for his weekend assignment.
A Boost for Belletti’s Boys
Now, his ‘demotion’ might be a huge gain for Belletti’s Barca Atletic crew. These guys are absolutely flying right now! They are sitting pretty at the top of the table after six matches, ripping off an incredible four straight wins. Seriously, four straight! Abdelkarim’s presence at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Utebo on Saturday is only going to give them a further boost. After riding the bench for the first team for most of the season, you know he’s itching to get some real game time. He’ll be looking to help keep that winning streak alive, no doubt.
So, while the main squad takes on Real Betis, all eyes will be on Abdelkarim with Barca Atletic. Can he help them extend their incredible run and prove he’s still got that fire? You bet he can. Get ready for Saturday, it’s going to be a big one for him and Belletti’s squad!
