"On what was supposed to be an off day, the La Masia midfielder showed up to the club facilities voluntarily to train. Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Casado was at the Ciutat Esportiva today as he continued to work on recovering from his adductor discomfort that is still bothering him. The midfielder was named in the starting lineup for Barcelona's last game against Celta Vigo before the international break."
"However, he was withdrawn from the team and replaced by Dani Olmo as he felt a sharp pain in the adductor during the warm-ups. Although the Blaugrana have expressed optimism regarding his injury, Casado has not set foot on the pitch throughout the week, at least not alongside his teammates, and has instead worked in the gym to recover and be available for the match against Athletic Club."
"Barcelona will need Casado to be available for the game on 22 November, as Frenkie de Jong is suspended, while Gavi is out injured, and Pedri is unlikely to return from his physical issue either. So, Casado, still concerned about the adductor discomfort, is making use of the international break to work on his recovery and ensure that he is fit and available for Hansi Flick when Barcelona return to action next week."
Marc Casado attended Ciutat Esportiva on an off day to train as he continues recovery from lingering adductor discomfort. He was originally named in the starting lineup against Celta Vigo but was withdrawn during warm-ups after feeling a sharp adductor pain and replaced by Dani Olmo. Casado has not taken part in on-pitch team sessions this week, instead working in the gym to regain fitness. Barcelona will require his availability for the November 22 match against Athletic Club due to Frenkie de Jong's suspension, Gavi's injury, and Pedri's uncertain return. Marc Bernal also trained and will play for Catalonia on Tuesday to build rhythm.
