Hamza Abdelkarim Included in Barcelona Squad for Racing Santander ⚽🔥
German manager Hansi Flick has announced the Barcelona squad selected for the upcoming clash against Racing Santander in the sixth round of the 2026-2027 La Liga season.
Barcelona are preparing to host Racing Santander at Camp Nou on Wednesday evening, with the Catalan side looking to continue their winning run and maintain their position at the top of the Spanish league table.
Barcelona enter the match at the top of the La Liga standings with 15 points, having won all five of their opening league matches and made a strong start to the new campaign.
Hamza Abdelkarim Included Against Racing Santander 🇪🇬⭐
The Barcelona squad once again includes Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarim, after Hansi Flick decided to call up the young striker for the Racing Santander match, allowing him to remain part of the first-team setup.
The latest call-up comes after Abdelkarim featured in Barcelona’s previous match against Rayo Vallecano, when the Egyptian forward was given an opportunity during the final stages of the game.
Hamza played for less than 10 minutes against Rayo Vallecano, continuing his recent involvement with the first team and giving him another opportunity to gain experience at senior level.
Abdelkarim Continues After Signing New Barcelona Contract
The Egyptian striker’s inclusion in the Barcelona squad comes only a few days after he officially signed a new contract with the Catalan club.
The contract-signing ceremony was held in the presence of Barcelona president Joan Laporta, marking another important step in the Egyptian player’s journey with the Spanish giants.
His continued inclusion in the first-team squad represents another opportunity for Abdelkarim to be involved at senior level, particularly after receiving playing time in the previous match and with Egyptian supporters closely following his progress at one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
