Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has received a significant boost to his squad depth as the La Liga leaders prepare for a pivotal trip to face Osasuna this Saturday.
Raphinha and teenage midfielder Marc Bernal have both returned to full group training, providing essential coverage following the season-ending injury to Lamine Yamal.
Brazil international Raphinha has successfully recovered from a hamstring strain suffered five weeks ago, while Bernal is back after nursing a sprained ankle.
Flick intends to grant the duo minutes at El Sadar to build match sharpness ahead of the highly anticipated El Clásico showdown against Real Madrid on May 10.
In a further positive development, Andreas Christensen has rejoined group sessions for the first time since December following a partial ACL tear in his left knee.
While the Danish defender is unlikely to feature this weekend, his presence suggests a potential return to competitive action before the current campaign concludes.
Barcelona currently sit eleven points clear of Real Madrid following a 2-0 victory over Getafe, where goals from Marcus Rashford and Fermín López edged them closer to the title.
A victory in Pamplona, combined with a Real Madrid slip-up against Espanyol, could mathematically crown the Blaugrana as champions as early as next weekend.
Despite the excitement surrounding the return of these key assets, Flick has emphasized that “no unnecessary risks” will be taken during this final stretch of the season.
