From the source
La Liga giants Barcelona could welcome a pair of important defensive figures back for their upcoming showdown with La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid. This comes amid positive injury news stemming from the Ciutat Esportiva on Wednesday.
Barcelona have of course been forced to contend with nothing short of a defensive personnel crisis over the last couple of weeks. Already lacking in depth at the back, the Blaugrana saw all of Andreas Christensen, Eric García, Jules Koundé and Xavi Espart struck down by respective injury problems.
Not only that, but Rodri, another emergency option at the heart of defence in Catalunya’s capital, was this week ruled out for the coming weeks with a hamstring issue.
