Barcelona fans have had a reason to smile following recent updates on the recovery of young midfielder Marc Bernal.
According to positive reports from SPORT, the club is satisfied with Bernal’s progress and optimistic about his return to action, despite the challenges he has faced.
The club shared encouraging news yesterday by publishing images of Bernal’s last training session at the Ciutat Esportiva.
The 17-year-old, recovering from a knee injury that kept him sidelined all season, was seen working hard in the gym.
The photos showed Bernal using weights and elastic bands to strengthen his leg muscles, a crucial part of his rehabilitation.
This represents an important step forward, since just 100 days after surgery he is already preparing to jog and regain mobility in his injured leg.
Barcelona happy with the evolution
According to the media, Bernal’s recovery is progressing much faster than expected. After undergoing surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus, many players would still be in the early stages of their recovery at this point.
However, his latest medical check-up, carried out last week, showed that his recovery is well ahead of the usual time frame.
Despite this positive news, the road ahead for Bernal remains challenging. Both Barcelona and the player are acting cautiously, ensuring that he does not return to the pitch too soon.
The club is committed to following the carefully planned recovery process, with the aim of Bernal returning to action next September. It will be one year since his injury and only then will he be ready to rejoin the team.
There is also renewal
Barcelona has shown strong support for Bernal during this difficult time. In fact, the club took steps to secure the midfielder’s future by offering him an improved contract last September.
Although his contract was officially extended until 2026, it is understood that it will be extended further, possibly until 2029.
Barcelona see Bernal as an important part of the club’s future and are confident that he will play a key role in the team once he has fully recovered.
With these updates, Barcelona fans can be assured that his recovery is progressing well and the club is doing everything necessary to ensure his return to the field is safe and successful.
