Barcelona Welcome Raphinha, Bernal and Christensen Back to Training Ahead of Run-In

Flick signals a careful reintegration to build options for Osasuna before the May 10 Clásico.

Overview

  • Raphinha, Marc Bernal and Andreas Christensen trained with the first team Wednesday, returning from hamstring, ankle and knee injuries.
  • Barcelona plan to evaluate Raphinha and Bernal for the trip to Osasuna at El Sadar, with minutes also targeted for the May 10 meeting with Real Madrid.
  • Coaches and medical staff are phasing the comebacks and say they will avoid unnecessary risks as the league leaders close out the season.
  • Andreas Christensen, sidelined since December with a partial ACL tear, is unlikely for Osasuna and still has an unresolved contract that expires June 30.
  • Raphinha signaled progress with a one-word “Loading” post on Instagram, reflecting a push to rejoin a squad that has shuffled roles during his absence.
