Fantastic news for the Blaugrana.
Barcelona‘s injury list is shrinking as three players make their return. Today, Barcelona’s official X (formerly Twitter) account announced that Raphinha, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen have rejoined team training after recovering from serious injuries.
At this moment, it’s still unclear whether they will feature in the La Liga Matchday 34 clash against Mallorca this Saturday, but expectations are high that all three will be included in the squad for El Clásico.
Raphinha suffered a hamstring injury on March 28, sparking fears that the Brazilian might miss the World Cup. However, he has made a full recovery and is now expected to join the Seleção for the tournament.
Bernal sustained an ankle injury in April, forcing him to miss five matches for Barcelona. The most challenging recovery belonged to Christensen—the defender tore ligaments last December and spent five months sidelined. Initially, it was feared his season was over, but he has defied the odds to return.
