Hansi Flick has had the chance to assess his Barcelona squad over the past two weeks, although some have had more opportunities to impress than others.
Clement Lenglet is one of the few senior players to have been an ever-present and, so far, he seems to have seized his chance.
Lenglet was tipped to leave Barcelona for the third consecutive time this summer. Xavi Hernandez did not count on him and sent him to Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. The Catalans hoped to sell him this time, but a new loan seems more likely.
Impressive Lenglet
There is no progress on Lenglet’s situation, which means he will remain at Barcelona for now. He impressed Flick during pre-season, as revealed by Tot Costa.
Ronald Araujo’s hamstring injury could see Lenglet get one last chance in a Barcelona shirt, with the chance to impress Flick during the pre-season tour of the United States, which begins Wednesday morning against Manchester City.
IN SHORT
- FC Barcelona player Clément Lenglet was tipped to leave the club this summer after loan spells at Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
- Despite the club’s intentions to sell, Lenglet remains at Barcelona and has impressed Flick in pre-season, particularly with Ronald Araujo injured.
- The pre-season tour of the United States, starting against Manchester City, could offer Lenglet one last chance to prove his worth.
