Long-term Barcelona injury absentee drops return hint | OneFootball

A long-sidelined member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Wednesday hinted that he is closing on an imminent return to the pitch.

The player in question? Marc Bernal.

Bernal, for his part, was of course dealt a hammer blow all the way back in August of last year.

After establishing himself as a key figure in the engine room setup of new boss Hansi Flick at just 17 years of age, Bernal picked up a knee problem late in a 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano.

As much was subsequently confirmed to be an ACL tear, ruling the starlet out for the long-term.

Updates on his recovery have since been few and far between, amid hopes of Bernal being back fully fit and firing for the beginning of next season.

All of a Barcelona persuasion will therefore no doubt be intrigued to learn of the player himself providing an insight into his wellbeing at present.

Taking to his official Instagram account on Wednesday, Bernal unveiled a photo of himself on the training pitch, accompanied by the caption:

‘Back soon, Back soon’
