FC Barcelona have received a timely boost on the injury front, with Eric García and Alejandro Balde resuming individual training as they edge closer to full fitness. The defensive duo are targeting a return immediately after the international break, alongside Frenkie de Jong and Jules Koundé.
Manager Hansi Flick is counting on all four players to be available for the decisive stretch of the season, with crucial domestic and European fixtures on the horizon.
García’s return will come as a relief for Barcelona, especially after his recent scare in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash against Newcastle United. The Spanish defender was forced off in the first half due to discomfort, raising concerns over his availability. However, Barcelona went on to deliver a dominant 7-2 victory despite his early exit, underlining their squad depth.
Meanwhile, Balde’s comeback could prove equally significant. The young left-back has missed a considerable number of games this season, leaving a noticeable gap in Barcelona’s defensive structure and attacking transitions.
