After a long and grueling recovery, Barcelona’s promising talent Marc Bernal has officially been given the
medical green light since last Friday.
The plan: A symbolic comeback exactly 365 days after his surgery set for Matchday 4 against Valencia. The date has been circled for weeks, marking a full year since he began his road to recovery.
However, sources suggest it’s not entirely off the table for Bernal to make his return earlier than planned even as soon as today.
Ultimately, the decision rests with head coach Hansi Flick, who will weigh Bernal’s fitness, match rhythm, and the demands of the current fixture before giving the final call.
From surgery to the brink of a triumphant comeback, this is shaping up to be one of the season’s most inspiring return stories.
