Each Sport: Barcelona is not in a hurry to get Bernal back, players may return to the arena on September 14
According to Daily Sports, Barcelona midfielder Bernal's return is approaching, and he is only a few weeks away from returning to the field. The club has noticed that his injury has improved significantly, but they remained cautious in order to avoid any impatient behavior that could affect his full recovery.
Despite his outstanding performance in recent training, no one is willing to take risks, so Barcelona is not in a hurry to get him back at the moment. Bernal received full support from sports management and head coaches, and was always patient and actively cooperated with the work of the physical therapist throughout the recovery process. The locker room source revealed that his attitude was exemplary and despite his desire to return to the court as soon as possible, he has been very cautious and strictly following the advice of professionals.
The current plan is to get him back after one year of injury, but if the recovery situation improves significantly, Barcelona will re-evaluate the arrangement. Bernal is expected to return to the arena in the match against Valencia on September 14, but it is also possible to obtain doctors' permission in advance. This cautious attitude also reflects his importance in the team, a key figure in the head coach's program.
The upcoming Gambel Cup will be a good opportunity to test his recovery, but it is not yet confirmed whether he will play. The final decision will be made in consultation with the medical team within the next few days. In fact, Bernal was under routine checks today to assess recovery progress, and these results will help make the final decision.
In addition, Bernal's agent was spotted appearing in Barcelona Sports City yesterday, sparking speculation about whether he met Deco. However, internal sources clarified that the visit had nothing to do with the player's physical condition.
In short, ensuring full recovery of Bernal remains the top priority, and the specific date of return has not been determined. The club made it clear that it would make no sense to take a comeback now, as it could lead to a longer subsequent absence for the player. Bernal himself also agrees with this view and believes that he will have the best season of his career.
