Barcelona’s pre-season preparations are set to kick off tomorrow, marking the beginning of Hansi Flick’s tenure as the new head coach. Among the players hoping to catch Flick’s attention is 20-year-old central midfielder Aleix Garrido.
Hailing from Ripoll, Spain, Garrido has been sidelined due to a persistent left foot injury. He suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture in February, necessitating surgery. Despite a brief appearance against Ibiza in the playoffs, recurring discomfort before the Cordoba match kept him out of action.
Despite these setbacks, Garrido remains determined to make an impact this summer. Mundo Deportivo reports that the young talent is focused on a full recovery and a strong pre-season performance.
Last season, Garrido played a pivotal role for Rafa Marquez’s Barça Atletic, contributing one goal and four assists across 23 appearances. Dubbed the “little magician” for his exceptional vision and passing, Garrido’s work ethic and skill have made him a standout midfielder.
Currently in the final stages of his recovery, Garrido is pushing to rejoin the squad before their pre-season tour to the United States later this month. His dedication and talent have Barcelona fans eagerly anticipating his return and potential contributions under Flick’s guidance.
With his unwavering determination and impressive skill set, Aleix Garrido could become a key player in Barcelona’s midfield for the upcoming season.
