Barcelona has been given an advantage before their upcoming matches, with two key players returning to full fitness. While the team remains focused on their Champions League clash with Brest, where a win could strengthen their position for a top-eight finish, they are also eagerly awaiting the return of fan-favorite Lamine Yamal. His recovery continues, with hopes for his return in their next La Liga fixture against Las Palmas. Additionally, Ferran Torres is also in line to make a comeback, further boosting Barcelona’s attacking options as they aim to get back to winning ways.
Barcelona Gets Double Injury Boost Before Brest Clash
La Liga giants Barcelona have confirmed that two first-team players are fit to play against Stade Brestois this week.
This comes from Barcelona insider Javier Miguel of Diario AS, who has shared the latest updates from behind the scenes in the Catalan capital.
Hansi Flick’s team is set to resume action tomorrow night.
Following a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo after the international break on Saturday, the Blaugrana will now focus on their Champions League clash against Ligue 1 side Brest.
In a bid to quickly get back to winning form, Flick and his team will benefit from the return of two important players.
According to AS, Alejandro Balde and Eric García were back in action on Monday, training with their teammates at The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper.
Balde, who missed the weekend’s match due to a minor hamstring issue, is now fully recovered and back in training. His return comes as a relief to Barcelona, which has been dealing with several injury concerns in recent weeks.
On the other hand, Eric García, who has been sidelined for over a month with an adductor injury, is also making progress in his recovery. His return to full fitness adds depth to Barcelona’s defense as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
Both players are expected to be cleared to play a role against Brest.
Barcelona Fan-Favorite to Return vs. La Liga Side Soon
After a frustrating 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo that left Hansi Flick angry, Barcelona will be eager for a victory as they face Brest on Tuesday.
Barça have been struggling with their limited squad depth recently, as a significant number of players are sidelined with injuries.
Barcelona has been significantly affected by the absence of Lamine Yamal. It looks like the Spaniard will also miss the match against Brest as he continues to deal with discomfort.
When is Yamal Expected to Make His Return?
A recent report from Diario AS has provided an update on Yamal’s fitness, including a possible return date for the young forward.
According to the report, Yamal isn’t fully fit to play against Brest, prompting Flick to take a cautious approach with the young forward’s recovery.
If all goes as planned, Yamal should be fit to face Las Palmas, Barcelona’s next La Liga opponent.
The Catalans will face the Canaries on Saturday in what could be a crucial must-win match for the league leaders.
Flick, in particular, will demand nothing less than three points, having already issued a stern warning to the squad.
Yamal won’t be the only Barcelona forward set to return against Las Palmas, as Ferran Torres may also make his comeback this weekend.
Their potential return could significantly boost Barcelona’s chances of getting back to winning form.
For now, Barça’s attention will be on their Champions League clash against Brest, with a win potentially putting them in a strong position to secure a top-eight finish.
