Meanwhile, Raphinha is recovering from a hamstring injury in his right leg sustained while on international duty with the Brazil national football team last month. This week marks five weeks since the injury, and the plan was for him to rejoin group training now.

Now, both Bernal and Raphinha have returned to training with the group and are working towards making their comebacks.

Flick’s plan is for them to be available for the Osasuna match and also gain minutes ahead of the Clasico on 10 May at the Spotify Camp Nou. But no unnecessary risks will be taken.

Christensen, meanwhile, has been sidelined since December with a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

His comeback in training suggests there remains a slight possibility that he could feature again before the end of the season, although a return against Osasuna is unlikely.
