Barcelona Duo Increases Recovery Pace Ahead of Osasuna Clash
Barcelona has returned to training, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo,' as the team held a training session at the Joan Gamper sports city in preparation for their upcoming match against Osasuna next Saturday. The session saw the participation of some players returning from injury.
According to the source, Raphinha, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen took part in part of the group training, indicating progress in their physical condition ahead of the upcoming match.
The report explained that Raphinha and Marc Bernal have increased their recovery pace, with the possibility of being available for coach Hans Flick. Their status will be decided during the final training session on Friday before traveling to Pamplona, where the final squad for the match will be determined.
As for Andreas Christensen, he also trained with the group, but his chances of participating against Osasuna seem slimmer due to his long absence from competitions.
In related news, Lamine Yamal continued his special treatment program to recover from a muscle tear in the biceps femoris of the left leg and will not be available until the end of the season.
It has also been confirmed that Koundé will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards, having received his fifth warning against Getafe, prompting coach Hans Flick to look for an alternative in the right-back position.
The report indicated that Xavi Espart is one of the options considered to fill this position, having participated in first-team training alongside reserve team players Eder Aller, Alvaro Cortes, and Tommy Marquez.
