Ferran Torres happy to annoy his critics after crucial double in Barcelona derby win against Espanyol

Fit to play Saturday Balde (hamstring) returned to full team training this week and trained Friday before traveling to Madrid, making him available for Saturday's clash against Atletico, according to N...

Impact Balde has been working his way back from a hamstring injury and completing a normal training session ahead of the trip to Madrid is the clearest confirmation yet that he is ready to return. The left-back has been a clear starter in that role when healthy this season, and his return sets up an interesting battle with Joao Cancelo for the starting spot moving forward. Getting Balde back for a crucial double header against Atletico both in La Liga and the Champions League is a massive boost for manager Hansi Flick's side.

Training Monday Balde (hamstring) is training with a ball Monday, according to his club.

Impact Balde is seeing improvements in health this week as his Monday begins on the training pitch, his first time pictured in what looks to be full training since going down injured. This allows the defender to potentially return in one of their two coming games, both of which are against Atletico Madrid, on April 4 and April 8. He has been a clear starter at left-back this campaign when fit, hoping to have him available to end the season.

Impact Balde is in the final phase of his recovery from the hamstring issue that kept him out for the last five matches and could be back for the La Liga showdown against Atletico right after the international break on April. 4. That is great news for Barcelona since he has been a regular starter this season, though Joao Cancelo's strong run of form could cut into his minutes during the closing stretch of the campaign.

Working on return Balde (hamstring) was spotted working hard in his rehab and is expected to return to the matchday squad after the international break, the club posted.

Impact Balde continues to grind through his rehab from a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him sidelined until early April following the international break. The left-back was spotted back on the pitch Friday in running shoes going through strength and conditioning drills as he works to rebuild fitness and ramp back up for the final stretch of the season. In the meantime, Joao Cancelo is set to keep locking down the starting role at left-back.

Impact Balde replaced Jules Kounde (hamstring) in the first half of Tuesday's win against Atletico in the Copa del Rey but then suffered a significant setback himself and was forced off in the second half. The former Masia left-back will be assessed Wednesday to determine the extent of the injury but early reports suggest the issue is serious and that he is likely facing several weeks on the sidelines. If that proves to be the case, Joao Cancelo is expected to lock down a starting role for the Blaugranas moving forward.
