FC Barcelona are on the verge of becoming La Liga champions as they prepare to face local rivals RCD Espanyol on Thursday night.
A win in the Catalan derby will see the Blaugrana claim the league title on their bitter rivals’ territory, though Hansi Flick’s side’s victory could be guaranteed tonight if Real Madrid loses to Mallorca.
Pablo Torre is back in training.
Barcelona began their final training session at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper before making the short trek to RCDE Stadium tomorrow.
According to journalist Alex Pintanel, Barcelona’s teenage midfielder Pablo Torre returned to group training today, indicating that his injury problem has been resolved.
The Spanish youngster was sidelined just before his match against Real Valladolid earlier this month owing to physical soreness.
Torre missed three games, including those against Valladolid, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid, despite the fact that his injury was not believed to be serious.
However, the former Racing Santander starlet has recovered and is now exercising with the team ahead of tomorrow’s Catalan derby.
And, with the title practically secured, Flick may give him some crucial minutes in the remaining matches.
So far this season, the 22-year-old has appeared in 14 games in all competitions, scoring four goals and assisting three times.
Meanwhile, Inigo Martinez is not training with the rest of the team today because he has been suspended for the game due to an accumulation of cards.
Jules Kounde and Marc Bernal, on the other hand, are forced to miss time due to injuries.
