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.

- 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.
