"After dealing with seven absences in the first El Clasico of the season last week, FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick can finally breathe a little ahead of their next La Liga match against Elche this Sunday at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Indeed, there is positive news with regard to the progress of three players as the Blaugrana carry out preparations for the weekend league clash. Lewandowski to return"
"According to Mundo Deportivo, Robert Lewandowski is set to return to the squad this weekend after missing the past three matches for Barcelona. Lewandowski was not available for the games against Girona, Olympiacos, and Real Madrid due to a muscle tear sustained while on international duty earlier this month. Initial reports suggested a longer time out for the veteran, but he has made exceptional progress and resumed full group training already, and will return vs Elche. However, his inclusion in the starting eleven is unlikely."
"Beyond the Polish striker, Wednesday's session also brought good news with Dani Olmo and Joan Garcia both returning to light field work. However, given Olmo's recurring muscle issues, the coaching and medical staff are taking a measured approach with his return. Similarly, Garcia, who underwent surgery recently, will be given the necessary time to recover properly, considering that Wojciech Szczesny has been performing at a high level."
FC Barcelona prepare for a La Liga match against Elche with positive updates on three players. Robert Lewandowski is set to rejoin the squad after a muscle tear that forced him to miss three matches, having resumed full group training, though a starting role is unlikely. Dani Olmo and Joan Garcia have returned to light field work, but the coaching and medical staff will adopt a cautious approach due to Olmo's recurring muscle issues and Garcia's recent surgery. Barcelona plan to avoid risks before the upcoming international break and aim for full fitness across the squad.
