Key Barcelona duo to rejoin training this week; will receive medical clearance for Osasuna clash

Barcelona’s march towards the La Liga title could soon receive a significant lift, with key players edging closer to full fitness at just the right time of the season.

As things stand, Barcelona are on the brink of wrapping up the league, and the return of important squad members could prove decisive in getting them over the line.

According to recent developments from AS, both Raphinha and Marc Bernal are expected to rejoin the group this week.

The plan is for both players to target medical clearance by Saturday, just in time for the crucial clash against Osasuna.

Perfect timing

That fixture could effectively seal the title, as a victory would put Barcelona 14 points clear at the top, leaving Real Madrid with no room for error.

Should Madrid fail to beat Espanyol the following day, Hansi Flick and his squad could be crowned champions with four games still left to play.

Raphinha’s potential return is particularly significant, as the Brazilian winger has been sidelined since late March after picking up a right hamstring injury while on international duty against France.
