After a break of more than two and a half years, Barcelona is set to return to its home stadium, the iconic Camp Nou. The team’s homecoming match is a La Liga fixture against Athletic Bilbao today. The stadium, which has been partially renovated, will reopen with a limited capacity. Due to ongoing construction, only a little over 45,000 fans will be allowed inside.
This return marks a significant moment for the team and its supporters, as they have been playing their home games at the Olympic Stadium for the past two seasons.
In team news, young player Lamine Yamal has recovered from a hip injury and is fit to play. Brazilian winger Raphinha, sidelined since September with a hamstring injury, is also expected to make a comeback. However, Marcus Rashford’s participation is in doubt due to a fever. Currently, Barcelona is in second place in the La Liga standings, three points behind Real Madrid.
