Key Barcelona duo will return vs Athletic Club; midfield mainstay to come back vs Chelsea | Barca Universal
"According to Mundo Deportivo, Flick will recover three of his key men at once - Raphinha, Joan Garcia, and Pedri - after the international break. Raphinha, who was due to return in El Clasico after suffering a right hamstring injury on 25 September against Real Oviedo, will rejoin full training with the team from next Tuesday and will be fit to make the squad against Athletic Club on Saturday, 22 November."
"The only uncertainty remains Pedri, who was sidelined with a muscle injury he sustained during the Clasico defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. Although the Canary Islander's recovery is progressing very well, he is practically ruled out for the Athletic fixture. The current objective is for Flick to have him available for the Champions League match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, 25 November, just three days after the encounter against the Basque club."
FC Barcelona will recover Raphinha, Joan Garcia, and Pedri after the international break, addressing recent squad depletion from multiple injuries. Raphinha suffered a right hamstring injury on 25 September and will rejoin full training next Tuesday, making him fit for the Athletic Club squad on Saturday, 22 November. Joan Garcia required arthroscopic surgery but has trained with the group and will be available to start in goal against Athletic at the Spotify Camp Nou. Pedri's muscle injury recovery is progressing well but he is likely ruled out for Athletic, with a target return against Chelsea on 25 November. Gavi and Marc-André ter Stegen remain sidelined and are unlikely to return this year.
