Christensen returns to Barça training with Dembele close to comeback
The duo, aside from Sergi Roberto, are the only two players currently out of action
FC Barcelona returned to training on Monday with the confirmed presence of Andreas Christensen as the big news. The Danish centre-back did part of the session with the group. Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembélé is in the final stages of his 'readaptation' following his injury.
Frenkie de Jong and Pedri returned to normal training, as they have already received medical clearance and were included in Xavi Hernández's squad for Sunday's match against Atlético Madrid, a 1-0 win. Both could be in the starting line-up for the game against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday (22:00).
Barça Atlètic players Juanda and Rosanas also trained, along with youth players Aleix Garrido, Ángel Alarcón and Lamine Yamal. The latter three are already regular players in the sessions with the first team. Lamine Yamal, in fact, was called up by Xavi last weekend at the age of 15 and could be included again against the Madrid side in midweek.
The Blaugrana coach is gradually getting all his players back for the final stretch of the season, with the clear objective of sealing the league title and maintaining the 11-point lead over Real Madrid. Los Blancos can move to within eight points of Barça if they win Tuesday's game at Girona.
