Barca's young talent, Bojan Krkic remains visible in Barcelona and Spain's present and future plans.


Barcelona FC coach, Frank Rijkaard's intention to include Bojan Krkic in the Barcelona A Team has been delayed by the talented starlets's call to the Spain U 21 side. The U21 team of Spain will meet in Oliva, near Valencia, to prepare for their Euro U21 qualification match against Georgia.


Rijkaard was hoping to select young Bojan to play for Barca in the Copa de Catalunya competition. Bojan should have featured in Barcelona's semi-final match against Nastic in Tarragona.


Bojan is expected to play against Georgia in the Spain's first qualifying match for the Euro U21 Championship on September, 11 in Tiblis.
His physiotherapists worry that young Bojan Krkic may experience fatigue considering he just concluded playing in the European U 17 Championship with Spain a few weeks back.

His trainer at Barca B, Quique Costas, also shares similar opinion and stated:

For such a young and promising player to be called to the U-21 National Team just moments after playing in the U-17 Championship is by no means a big joy and praise. However, we have to consider the issue of tiredness on his part, and also keep in mind that he may be nursing a slight knee injury that may not need some stress but rather more time to heal completely.




Bojan Krkic played his debut game for Barcelona A Team in the 4-1 win over Egyptian clubside Al-Ahly. Bojan scored in that match and has been a hot conadidate for ascending to the A Team ever since that game. Frank Rijkaard is satsified with the young forwards performance and it was everyone's hope that Boajn Krkic will use this summer break to warm up to the senior side and get more accustomed to training with the A Team so as to have a smoother transition to the seniors when they resume their campaign for next season's trophies.


The demand for Bojan's services from all corners may imply that Krkic seems to have a very tight schedule he may not be able to cope with and may have to choose some while forfeiting others.


Having just concluded the Euro U-17 Championship, the Spanish Federation is expected to call up Bojan for the U-20 World Cup between June 30 and July 22 in Canada, then star for the Spanish U-17 in the world cup in Korea between August 18 and September 9, just three and a half weeks after the U-17 Competition.


The new La Liga season will commence too and Bojan is being tipped to play for the seniors. He still has a place in the Barca B team to fall back on though, even with an option of loan to Ajax, PSV, AZ Alkmaar or another club. Whichever, he is still going to remain in football action and this non-stop schedule may affect the youngster negatively in terms of quality output and performance on the field of play.


Barca is expected to intervene to give Bojan a rest. FC Barcelona officials are expected to request that Bojan Krkic will not appear in the U17 World Cup.
