"Since returning in September, after a year out due to an ACL injury, Barcelona youngster Marc Bernal has only played a little over 200 minutes across 11 matches in all competitions. The 18-year-old starlet enjoys the full trust of manager Hansi Flick. However, the manager has been careful with his reintegration so that there are no relapses or future complications, especially having seen Gavi's physical problems this term."
"As a result, Barcelona are open to the idea of letting Bernal leave on loan this month so that his development can continue unhindered. Bernal undecided yet Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Bernal has yet to make a decision on a potential loan departure this month, and his involvement in the upcoming matches will be key.

Marc Bernal returned in September after a year out with an ACL injury and has logged just over 200 minutes across 11 matches. Hansi Flick trusts Bernal but has managed his reintegration carefully to avoid relapses, especially after Gavi's physical problems. Heavy competition from Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia and the imminent return of Gavi limits Bernal's regular playing prospects. Barcelona are open to a January loan so Bernal can gain minutes. Bernal remains undecided and will judge Flick's confidence from upcoming matches, with the Copa del Rey tie against Racing Santander acting as a barometer.
