After experiencing a painful elimination in the Champions League, Barcelona began to focus 100% on La Liga. He will seek to take advantage of Atlético’s draw and for this he could count on the return of an important piece.
The Uruguayan center-back Ronald Araujo returned to training with the group normally this Saturday at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and points out that it will be the great novelty of Ronald Koeman’s call-up to face Huesca at the Camp Nou on Monday.
Araujo, who did not travel to Paris despite training with the group in the session prior to the Champions League game against PSG because the Dutch coach did not want to risk, is recovering from his left ankle injury, from which he suffered in Barcelona’s 2-0 win over Sevilla on February 27, just the day of his comeback.
The two training sessions that remain before the match against Huesca, tomorrow Sunday and the same Monday, will mark Koeman’s final decision regarding the Uruguayan central defender.
In the morning training session, four players from the reserve team also trained: midfielder Ilaix Moriba, who made his Champions League debut on Wednesday, center-back Óscar Mingueza, striker Konrad de la Fuente and goalkeeper Iñaki Peña.
Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho are still out due to injury.
Thus, this Saturday 23 players trained: Ter Stegen, Neto, Iñaki Peña, Dest, Mingueza, Lenglet, Araujo, Umtiti, Jordi Alba, Junior Firpo, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Pjanic, Riqui Puig, Ilaix Moriba, Matheus , Messi, Griezmann, Dembélé, Trincao, Braithwaite and Konrad de la Fuente.
