Ebrima Tunkara is back. After missing six games with a left‑ankle ligament tear, the Barça Atlètic midfielder finally stepped onto the pitch this season, coming on for Catovic against SD Logroñés. He logged roughly 20 minutes in a 1‑0 victory, leaving a bright impression. Could his impact spark a surge for the side?
Ebrima, only 16, suffered the blow during a hard‑fought friendly in Vilanova, the challenge far exceeding the match’s intensity. Recovery at the Ciutat Esportiva stayed on schedule. In my view, his swift comeback signals a resilience that bodes well for his future.
The club sees him as a potential cornerstone for the reserve squad this term. Wearing the number ‘10’ signals trust, and despite being age‑eligible for Juvenil B, his talent earns him a special spot at La Masia. The upcoming Sub‑18 World Cup in November‑December looms, while his next filial fixtures are at home versus Utebo and away at Olot.
