Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim has been included in Barcelona's 31-man squad for the club's pre-season training camp in England, giving the 18-year-old another opportunity to impress head coach Hansi Flick ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The Spanish champions will continue their preparations with two friendly matches, facing Birmingham City before taking on Preston North End as they build fitness for the new campaign.
Abdelkarim travelled with Barcelona's senior squad alongside established stars including Ronald Araújo, Fermín López, and Marc-André ter Stegen, as well as new signing Karim Adeyemi.
The young Egyptian forward has earned his place after impressing in Barcelona's youth ranks with his technical ability, movement inside the penalty area, and goalscoring instincts.
The England camp is expected to play an important role in determining Abdelkarim's immediate future, with Barcelona reportedly considering a loan move to provide him with regular first-team football.
However, a strong pre-season showing could strengthen his chances of remaining with the senior squad and convincing Flick that he can contribute during the upcoming season.
Barcelona's decision to include Abdelkarim highlights the club's continued commitment to promoting young academy talents and giving them opportunities to compete alongside the first team.
