Barcelona’s main players Pedri, Ousmane Dembele, and Frenkie de Jong have resumed their training regimen as the Blaugrana inch closer to their first league championship in three years.
All three of Barcelona’s regulars have endured protracted absences.
Three players—Dembele in late January, Pedri in mid-February, and De Jong right before the month’s international break—all sustained injuries.
While all three are back on the training pitch, no official return date has been set.
However, it is possible that both De Jong and Pedri will feature in the Blaugrana’s clash with third-placed Atletico Madrid this weekend, according to AS.
The trio’s return comes at a welcome time for Xai’s side.
Barcelona are winless in their last three fixtures, and have now been held scoreless for nearly 400 minutes in all competitions.
The revelation that deputy midfielder Sergi Roberto will be out of up to six weeks only makes their need for reinforcements more pressing.
Pedri and De Jong seem on track to return for their club’s fixture on Saturday, while Dembele might need an extra week to settle back into the side.
