Barcelona have received a timely fitness boost ahead of Saturday’s La Liga meeting with Osasuna, with Raphinha, Marc Bernal and Andreas Christensen all returning to training.
According to reports in Spain, both Raphinha and Bernal are expected to be included in Hansi Flick’s squad and could feature off the bench as Barcelona look to strengthen their grip on the title race.
Raphinha has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury while on international duty with Brazil in March, missing Barcelona’s last six matches across all competitions.
Bernal, meanwhile, has been absent for the club’s previous five games after picking up an ankle injury against Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
There was also encouraging news regarding Christensen, who has rejoined full team training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. However, the Danish defender is not yet ready for first-team action and is unlikely to be involved against Osasuna.
Christensen has not played since sustaining a partial ACL tear at the end of 2025, an injury that initially looked set to rule him out for the remainder of the season.
His return comes at an intriguing time, with his Barcelona future still uncertain after reportedly rejecting the club’s initial contract extension offer.
