Thursday’s session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper saw Raphinha and Marc Bernal take a step forward in their recovery by completing part of the training with their teammates while the team prepares for Saturday’s match (21:00) against Osasuna. The coaching staff will evaluate how they feel after today’s session to decide if either will make the squad.

Andreas Christensen also trained with the group, although his presence in Pamplona is considered more complicated due to the long period of inactivity he has endured. In this context, FC Barcelona continues fine-tuning its work plan ahead of the El Sadar match.

More absences and alternatives at right-back

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal continues specific treatment for a muscle tear in the left leg’s biceps femoris and will not be able to play at El Sadar; furthermore, he will miss the remainder of the season.

Added to that absence is Jules Koundé, who will miss the Osasuna game due to suspension after receiving a fifth yellow card in Getafe, which forces Flick to look for a solution at right-back. Among the candidates is Xavi Espart, back again in first team training, in a session that also saw the participation of reserve team goalkeeper Eder Aller.

Barça will return to training this Friday at 12:00, and afterward, at 13:00, Hansi Flick will hold a press conference to analyze the match against Osasuna, where he will announce the squad for this fixture, and we will be able to see if the Brazilian eventually goes.
