Oriol Busquets returns to Barça B squad against Conquense
The midfielder's been given the green light to return to action
The nightmare is over for Oriol Busquets. Eight months after getting injured in training the midfielder's been passed fit to return to action and is in the Barça B squad for Saturday's game against in Cuenca against Conquense, a game in Group III of the Spanish third tier.
Busquets sees the light at the tunnel after a meniscus injury forced him to undergo surgery earlier this year. Little by little, throughout the summer, he has stepped up his recovery. First, he began to work on his own, then with the ball and finally earlier this month he was able to train with his teammates.
He takes Carles Aleña's place in the squad for this weekend's game, with Aleña now a first-team player.

Before his injury, Busquets had made his first-team debut in the Copa del Rey after impressing Ernesto Valverde, who's said he's one of the academy players who could break into the first team soon.
