Will Alexander Callens debut with Girona against Barcelona?: this is what is known

Beyond his physical condition and his lack of rhythm, there is a condition that would prevent Alexander Callens from making his debut this weekend against Barcelona. According to information from journalist Alex Luna, “I could enter the call as long as a registered footballer comes out.”

The Spanish communicator classified the arrival of the ‘Inca’ as “exotic” because not many Peruvians have passed through said event. In addition, he pointed out that he doubts that the DT of Girona has asked the defender, because “that job is left to the sports leadership.”

Alexander Callens is valued at 2 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
