Barcelona is about to receive a big boost as one of their midfielders nears a return from injury, just as the club approaches a crucial moment in the season.
According to Diario Sport, the 21-year-old, who has been sidelined for almost two months, is going through full training and is close to being cleared medically.
Since the injury during a 4-2 victory over Atletico de Madrid, the midfielder’s injury was thought to keep him out informally until mid-May.
He has progressed more quickly than anticipated.
The return of the midfielder couldn’t be more timely, as Barcelona are in the middle of several matches, including a Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, as well as a monumental La Liga fixture against Real Madrid.
The club has struck a cautious balance to ensure it doesn’t encounter any setbacks.
He would give coach Hansi Flick a more multi-faceted, dynamic option in the midfield.
The player is Marc Casado, a breakout star this season who has impressed with his composure and work rate.
Despite the partial tear to his right knee’s lateral ligament, Marc Casado’s determination has seen him return ahead of schedule.
The Catalan club’s medical staff and Hansi Flick will make the final call, prioritizing a zero-risk policy.
Marc Casado’s gradual reintegration will be key, but his availability strengthens a squad aiming for silverware.
Marc Casado’s return is a piece of fantastic news for the Blaugrana in their hopes of securing the title.
With his sights set on Montjuïc’s El Clásico, Marc Casado’s comeback could prove pivotal for Barcelona’s ambitions in La Liga and beyond.
