A top Barcelona player has made a successful return to group training, ending a six-week period spent working on his recovery.
The news comes as a welcome relief for coaching staff across the academy and reserve ranks, who have kept a watchful eye on the prodigy’s recovery protocol.
Having progressed smoothly through isolated physical conditioning drills, the technical starlet has now integrated alongside his teammates to mark the start of an important rehabilitation milestone.
The top Barcelona midfielder returning to full group sessions after his six-week injury layoff is 16-year-old La Masia gem Ebrima Tunkara.
Widely viewed as one of the standout central creators in the club’s youth pipeline, Tunkara had his promising progress momentarily halted by a physical setback that kept him sidelined for over a month.
However, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the young midfield maestro has completed his individual rehabilitation program and resumed collective work under close monitoring from the medical team.
Despite his return to full group dynamics, Barcelona’s medical staff and technical directors intend to exercise maximum caution regarding his immediate match availability.
Club officials are carefully managing his workload to avoid any potential relapses, meaning Tunkara is unlikely to feature in the upcoming fixture against SD Logroñés.
Getting back to full match sharpness is of paramount strategic importance for both club and country as a demanding autumn schedule unfolds.
Tunkara is widely expected to be a key figure for Spain at the upcoming Under-17 World Cup between November and December.
Before turning his attention to international duty on the world stage, the teenage sensation remains focused on rebuilding his stamina, making his official debut for Barça Atlètic, and cementing his place among the primary long-term assets powering Barcelona’s midfield future.
