Barcelona attacker Ansu Fati could debut with Spain's Under-21 side against Montenegro on Tuesday.

But his national team coach Luis de la Fuente doesn't want to single the player out.

The Barcelona forward replaced Carles Perez in the La Rojita squad, after the latter withdrew due to injury.

"[Ansu Fati] was very calm when he arrived and wants to enjoy his football like the others," De la Fuente told MARCA. "There are players who make a difference immediately, he is not the only case, but he has various qualities for his age and youth.

"He has many chances to improve but we have to be cautious.

"He is just starting out and we have to help him.

"Ansu's situation is the same as [Iker] Muniain's in his day.

"We have to treat him normally."
