Israeli midfielder Orrian Goren, 17, has been officially included in the Barcelona squad for the El Clásico match against Real Madrid in the Spanish League's 10th round. Goren, a prodigious talent, becomes the first Israeli to be named in the squad for one of the world's most watched football games. His inclusion is partly due to the absence of the injured Dani Olmo, who will be sidelined for several weeks. However, it also reflects the confidence coach Xavi Hernández has in Goren, having given him opportunities in preseason games and training sessions. Goren participated in the senior team's preparations, including the Joan Gamper Trophy match. Spanish newspaper Marca noted that Goren trained alongside senior players, and his squad inclusion is a significant step in his development. He has become a key player and a regular starter for Barcelona Atlètic, the club's reserve team, noted for his midfield stability. This call-up presents a major opportunity for the 17-year-old to be part of a game every player dreams of. Catalan newspaper Sport also highlighted how Xavi has taken a liking to Goren, suggesting this is just the beginning for the promising player. Previously, Guy Assulin was in Barcelona's senior squad and played in the Copa del Rey, but never in the league. Another young player, Alex Campos, who was previously in the squad against Paris Saint-Germain, is also included. Barcelona is facing multiple injuries, with Dani Olmo, Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, and Raphinha also unavailable.
