MADRID, March 15 — Teenage central defender Pau Cubarsi, who has played just a handful of games for Barcelona, was on Friday called up for Spain’s friendly internationals against Colombia and Brazil.

Should coach Luis de la Fuente hand Cubarsi some time on the pitch, the 17-year-old will become the youngest central defender to play for Spain, surpassing Sergio Ramos who debuted when he was 18.
