Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, received a positive boost from his player Mark Bernal, after he showed an impressive physical level following his recovery from a serious knee ligament injury, according to the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo.'

The newspaper pointed out that Bernal has returned to training with remarkable strength, astonishing Flick and his coaching staff, after a long absence from the team since his injury in the match against Rayo Vallecano during the third round of La Liga in August.

During his recovery period, Bernal worked hard in the gym, which helped him significantly improve his physical build and gain additional muscle mass in his arms and legs, reflecting positively on his physical level in the initial training sessions in preparation for the new season.

Despite the physical readiness the player has shown, a specific date for his official return to matches has not yet been determined, as he awaits the final decision from the team's medical and coaching staff.
