Nice job!

5. As I know Armand Ella doesn't play for Juvenil A anymore. I suppose he has finished playing after that serious injury last summer.
18. Adama Traore was born in Barcelona and he played for Spain so far. I don't know is it important for you. But yeah, his parents are from Mali and he is dual citizen (Spain/Mali).
33. Labinot Kabashi is from Kosovo I suppose, but I know that 90% of population there are albanians.

P.S. Did't know Sanabria is paraguayan. It was surprise for me!

Dimonsss, Did Armand Ella sustain a career ending injury ?

Not 100% sure, but I think so. At least there is no any info about him for a long time. I have read he has gone nowhere from Barca. Maybe we'll hear something about him soon, but I really doubt it...

Adama Traore is spanish, as Dimonsss said.
I don't think Ella plays with another team, he's probably still with Barca but he probably won't continue next year.

20.Moustapha Seck Spain/?
23.Ayoub Abiu Oulam Morocco

Is the Russian goal Keeper Timur still in the Barca youth ranks?

Tomorrow I look further for you, because I believe there are many more foreign players in the wonderful Barca youth system :barca scarf:

Has Rafinha decided to play for Brazil?

Don't think so. So I'll change that to my list. I used the information on the Barcelona website and on this forum. I also called someone of Eidos (game-producer for Football Manager) and they helpen me a little as well. They do have a huge database.

So Seck's from Spain? For the record: I added players who do have foreign roots as well (like Rafinha). But I don't know if some (Nadir Louah Mhand-Yamna) have two passports. Sometimes it's hard to get a hold of information like birthplaces.
