Barcelona coach Xavi has put Pablo Torres on notice for today’s clash with Athletic Bilbao.
Torre has not debuted in La Liga yet and has only had minutes against Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League.
Xavi says he counts on Torre, though, and could use him at any moment.
“I would like for him to play more, against Villarreal I wanted him to have some minutes, we thought about it, but because of situations of people having knocks, preventing injuries, the changes made were more or less obligated at 3-0,” he said.
He said that Torre “is training well, there’s competition, it’s about patience, he’s training well and I’m sure that his moment will arrive”.
