"Barcelona have already begun preparations for Sunday's Clasico against Real Madrid with several updates from the medical department, most of them positive, as a number of players could be available again for Hansi Flick. Indeed, Raphinha is all set to make his way back into the squad after recovering from an injury he sustained in late September. Ferran Torres, too, is fully fit and ready to feature. Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong is also expected to be available after missing training on Thursday due to illness."
"Now, according to SPORT, Barcelona right-back Jules Kounde did not train with the group yesterday after suffering a knock. The Frenchman, still feeling slight discomfort, preferred not to take any risks and stayed in the gym while his teammates trained on the pitch. But there is no reason to worry, as club sources confirmed that it was a minor impact that has not worsened."
"As such, the plan is for Kounde to rejoin the group today and train normally ahead of Sunday's match at the Santiago Bernabeu. If everything proceeds as planned, both Kounde should be back in full training by midday, along with De Jong, allowing Barcelona to approach Sunday's Clasico with two key reinforcements as they travel to Madrid for one of the most important matches of the season."
Barcelona's medical updates are mostly positive ahead of Sunday's Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. Raphinha has recovered from his late-September injury and is set to rejoin the squad. Ferran Torres is fully fit and available. Frenkie de Jong, who missed a training session due to illness, is also expected to be available. Jules Kounde missed a session after a minor knock, trained in the gym, and is expected to rejoin the group and train normally today. Andreas Christensen missed training with gastroenteritis and will be assessed in the next session. Gavi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Joan Garcia, and Dani Olmo are ruled out.
