Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado agrees summer exit after falling to fifth-choice under Hansi Flick

Fit to play against Osasuna Bernal (ankle) will travel with Barcelona's squad for Saturday's clash against Osasuna and could feature, according to coach Hansi Flick. "Bernal will be with us tomorrow and could...

Impact Bernal had returned to team training Wednesday after his ankle sprain took longer than the initial 10-day estimate to resolve, and coach Flick's upbeat assessment is the clearest sign yet that the midfielder is ready to contribute again. Gavi has been holding down a greater role in his absence, but getting Bernal back in the mix gives the Blaugranas more midfield options as Barcelona push toward what could be a title-clinching fixture at El Sadar on Saturday.

Impact Bernal's recovery from the grade one ankle sprain has taken longer than the initial 10-day estimate, effectively doubling the projected timeline, though the club has been clear there has been no setback or recurrence involved. The midfielder had been absent for the Getafe fixture after missing Friday's training session, and Gavi has been holding down the starting role in his absence. Getting Bernal back in the fold for the Osasuna fixture would give manager Hansi Flick more midfield options as Barcelona close in on the La Liga title.

Won't play vs. Getafe Bernal (ankle) didn't train Friday and won't be available for Saturday's game at Getafe, according to Angel Perez of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact The midfielder wasn't involved in Friday's training session, so he won't be fit enough to play Saturday. However, Bernal is expected to return to training Monday with an eye toward returning to the squad against Osasuna on Saturday, May 2. Frenkie de Jong should continue as the regular starter in central midfield, so the loss of Bernal shouldn't have much of an impact in fantasy.

Ruled out for Celta Vigo clash Bernal (ankle) has been ruled out of Wednesday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to Alfredo Martinez of Onda Cero Radio.

Impact Bernal had been included in the travelling squad for the Champions League quarterfinal against Atletico but was still awaiting full medical clearance at that point, and his continued absence from team training suggests the ankle sprain has not yet fully resolved. No specific return timeline has been given and Barcelona will continue to monitor his progress, with Frenkie de Jong's return from injury easing the immediate pressure on the midfield in Bernal's absence.

Impact Bernal had been diagnosed with an ankle sprain that was expected to keep him out for around two weeks, making his inclusion in the travelling party a faster recovery than initially anticipated. The club is taking a cautious final step before clearing him for action, and his availability could give coach Hansi Flick an extra midfield option off the bench for the Atletico showdown. With Frenkie de Jong now back in the mix, Bernal figures to return to a more rotational role even once fully cleared, having started seven of Barcelona's last eight matches during the Dutchman's absence.

Impact Bernal is hitting the sidelines and will start a recovery program in the next few days, as the defender was diagnosed with an ankle sprain. This will likely leave him recovering for a good two weeks, unlikely to miss much more time unless a setback takes place. He has started in seven of the club's past eight games, so some changes will be made, with Eric Garcia and Marc Casado both as potential replacements.

Picks up injury Bernal was injured and subbed out in the 62nd minute of Saturday's match versus Atletico Madrid.

Impact Bernal had replaced Ronald Araujo in the 40th minute due to injury, and now he is forced off with an injury to himself as well. This leaves him questionable for the UCL match vs Atletico on Wednesday, having started the last two games of the tournament, scoring once in that span.

Hansi Flick explains decision to bench Lamine Yamal for Barcelona's clash with Sevilla

Starting Tuesday Bernal (illness) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's UCL clash with Newcastle.

Impact Bernal will stay in the staring XI as expected despite leaving the last league game due to stomach problems. The youngster will continue to fill in for Frenkie de Jong (hamstring) in the defensive midfield zone and could rack up a variety of stats, although he has yet to play more than 70 minutes in a game this season.

Impact Bernal will likely be available for the initial leg of the Champions League round of 16. This is great news for a squad that is in need of defensive midfield strength in the absence of Frenkie de Jong (hamstring). The youngster has started the last three league games, scoring once while tallying 129 accurate passes, six tackles and four interceptions over that span.

Dealing with illness Bernal (stomach) played through illness before being forced off at the break during Saturday's 1-0 win against Athletic Club, according to Gabriel Sans from Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Bernal was under the weather ahead of Saturday's clash with Athletic Club and reportedly vomited several times before kickoff, but the midfielder still pushed to start and managed to make it through the first half. He was eventually subbed off at the break for Pedri after being unable to continue. The young midfielder will now aim to bounce back in time for Tuesday's Champions League showdown with Newcastle, though he should remain in a rotational midfield role for the Blaugranas once Pedri is back at full speed.
