Barcelona youngster still not back in group training, a doubt for Celta Vigo clash
After a week-long break, FC Barcelona will be back in action on Wednesday when they take on Celta Vigo at the Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga.
The break will have done the squad some good, allowing them to put behind the disappointment of the Champions League exit and focus on securing the La Liga title in the coming weeks.
However, as things stand, it appears that Barcelona will go into Wednesday’s game without one of the club’s most precocious young talents – Marc Bernal.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Bernal has still not returned to training with the group. The midfielder continues his recovery from the ankle injury that has kept him out for two weeks and, for now, has not yet resumed work on the pitch alongside his teammates.
As such, he is now seen as a doubt for the game against Celta Vigo on Wednesday.

Bernal was injured in the La Liga match against Atletico Madrid last month after suffering a sprain to his left ankle.
Although the club’s medical staff initially estimated an absence of around ten days for the teenage midfielder, Barcelona have opted for a cautious approach and have avoided taking risks.
In fact, he was not even included in the matchday squad for the second leg of the CL quarter-finals against the Colchoneros, despite travelling with the squad – a clear indication that the coaching staff preferred not to take any chances.
Hansi Flick had already confirmed that no risks would be taken with him, as he is considered a key and essential player for the final stretch of the season, during which Barcelona aim to secure the La Liga title.
For now, Bernal continues to train separately, and his return to group sessions will have to wait.
