Guardiola insists that instead of signing new players to replace those who are injured, he will have trust in his Barcelona B side and the youth that is coming through into the first team.&nbsp;<br />

Guardiola said: "We will fall back on our youth players until the end. Going to the market doesn't guarantee anything. From the very beginning we designed a small squad because we believe in our youth program."
