Since his arrival at FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick has not really been shy about giving the youth academy talents the chance to play and succeed with the first team. He had several youngsters as regular parts of his first team last season, and some La Masia talents are expected to make the jump to his team this season as well.
One of the players whose chances of promotion are quite high is the 17-year-old winger Pedro Fernandez (also known as Dro ), who travelled with the team for the preseason tour and who has also been a part of the squad for all three La Liga matches the Blaugranes have played up to now.
According to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250902/1002524967/plan-fisico-dro-apuestas-flick.html), to ensure the youngster is not overwhelmed by the physical demands of top-flight football, Barcelona have prepared a special physical plan for him.
This plan would aim to optimize his physical condition and minimize his muscular problems, and was made after the club detected a significant difference in the physical situations of players promoted from the B team.
Dro, along with Jofre Torrents, [is expected to be one of the next big talents to explode onto the scene with Barcelona](https://semprebarca.com/report-highlights-the-qualities-that-make-17-year-old-barcelona-gem-a-standout-talent/). Hopefully, this physical plan will help him get ready for the biggest of stages.
