Barcelona’s midfield took a massive hit when Marc Bernal left the field injured against Atletico Madrid, and the setback continued to affect the team in the games that followed.

After all, the youngster has established himself as a reliable cog alongside Pedri in recent months, and all signs point to him growing in importance under Hansi Flick as time goes by.

For the time being, all focus remains on his recovery from injury and subsequent return to the field which was initially expected to occur in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Atletico Madrid.

Set to return

Now, as confirmed by Diario AS, the La Masia graduate is in the final stage of his recovery from the ankle sprain he suffered weeks ago. If everything goes to plan, a return to the field is not far off.
