FC Barcelona

Morning session at the Ciutat Esportiva to prepare for Saturday's visit (18:30 h) to Benito Villamarín. The squad is working with the sweet taste of victory against Atlético and focusing on a demanding Betis.
Fermín López and Frenkie de Jong trained with the group; the academy player could return to the squad, and the Dutchman has already overcome the fever process. Pedri, who had cramps against Atlético, also completed the session.

Coach Hansi Flick led a day marked by good news. Fermín López overcame his muscle issue and completed the work with the group, which opens the door for him to be included in the squad for the weekend. At the same time, Frenkie de Jong returned to action after overcoming a fever process, a key step to regain flow and rhythm in the midfield of FC Barcelona.

Pedri trained nominally after the cramps that led to his substitution against Atlético. In terms of absences, Gavi, Ter Stegen, Dani Olmo, and Ronald Araujo remain on the sidelines; in the case of the Uruguayan, he maintains his decision to take time to mentally recover and return in the best conditions. Overall, the blaugranas aim to sustain the positive momentum in a high-level match against Real Betis.

What's next

The match, corresponding to matchday 15 of La Liga at the Benito Villamarín, arrives with the team in a phase of fine-tuning: recovering pieces, accumulating sessions, and maintaining competitive intensity. Flick will assess feelings in the final hours to define the squad.
