According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has mapped out a clear development path for 18-year-old Belgian prospect Youri Tielemans and is awaiting the completion of administrative procedures that will allow him to return to training with the first team.

The Belgian winger is currently training with Barça Atlètic. Previously, administrative procedures related to his visa prevented him from obtaining La Liga clearance to train with the first team.

Tielemans is using this time to get match practice with the reserve team, and he is expected to feature in a friendly match Wednesday evening against Reus at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. This is part of Barcelona's plan to give him more playing time and help him adapt to a competitive environment.

However, Tielemans' presence in Barça Atlètic does not mean the club intends to sideline him from the first team. On the contrary, Barcelona's management believes Tielemans should remain eligible for the first team and be integrated as quickly as possible.

According to Mundo Deportivo, registering Tielemans with Barça Atlètic is a sporting decision within the club, allowing him to participate in official matches and gain playing time while he awaits sufficient opportunity in the first team.

Tielemans has already caught attention during preseason, scoring two goals in Barcelona's 4-2 victory over Basel and also featuring in the Gamper Trophy match against Al-Ahly.

Barça Atlètic continues to prepare for the new season through warm-up matches, having played 4 games so far with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses in penalty shootouts.

The reserve team's first match ended in a 1-2 loss to Tona, followed by a 1-1 draw with Girona B, then a 2-1 victory over Rubineta, their only win.

In their fourth match, Barça Atlètic drew with Vilanova, then lost 0-3 in a penalty shootout in the Vilanova City Cup.
