A highly-regarded up-and-coming member of the youth ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid was on Wednesday afforded a fresh chance to showcase his talents at senior level.
The player in question? Thiago Pitarch.
The name of youngster Pitarch all of a sudden emerged as a prominent one in the media chatter surrounding Real Madrid on Tuesday.
This came after word was forthcoming that the midfielder, fresh off celebrating his 18th birthday, had been called up to train alongside Xabi Alonso's senior Blancos squad.
And as alluded to above, Pitarch evidently did enough to impress Real's first-team coaching staff.
As much comes amid confirmation that the Spaniard, who spent last season plying his trade with Los Merengues' U19s, was this morning called up to senior duties at Valdebebas once more.
Amid something of a shortage of options in his midfield ranks at present, Xabi Alonso appears to have identified Pitarch as a player who could potentially contribute this coming season.
