FC Barcelona has received a dose of optimism in the infirmary. This Wednesday, after two days of rest, Raphinha, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen completed part of the training session with the group. Hansi Flick recovers players just in time for the visit to Sadar and, in passing, warms up for the Clásico against Real Madrid.
Progressive readaptation as a recovery strategy 🏥
The return to the pitch of these three players does not imply immediate minutes, but it marks a key step in their readaptation. Christensen, with discomfort in his Achilles tendon, and Bernal, returning after a long knee injury, need controlled loads. Raphinha, for his part, seems ready to add competitive rhythm. The coaching staff doses efforts to avoid relapses, using partial sessions as a filter before full clearance. The planning aims to have them ready for the demanding League and Champions League schedule.
Flick, a wizard of the tactics board with a full infirmary 🧙♂️
Hansi Flick seems more accustomed to juggling medical reports than fielding a standard starting eleven. This week, the good news is that three players have left the dry dock. Hopefully, they won't catch a cold when stepping onto the pitch, because with Barça's luck, if someone sneezes near the coach, they end up with soleus discomfort. At least, for the Clásico, the bench will look less barren.
