Good news arrives from Can Barça. And not only because the team remains in the Champions zone after his spectacular triumph against Valencia in Mestalla, but because Xavi has two more players since Monday. As AS has learned, Memphis Depay and Clement Lenglet performed part of the session with the group, so they are in the final phase of their recovery. In fact, Although it seems very fair for the game against Napoli this Thursday, it is expected that they will be able to play Sunday’s game against Athletic at the Camp Nou.
You have to remember that Memphis suffered from his injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg in the Super Cup match against Real Madrid on January 12. Since then, he has been working overtime in order to return. Almost a month and a half later, she is already at the gates of being discharged. Is about great news for Xavi, without a doubt, who has regained the top scorer of the season.
The reappearance of Lenglet is also providential, especially if we take into account the current deficit of central defenders. With Ronald Araújo and Eric Garcia between cottons, both are playing with muscular discomfort, and Gerard Piqué playing practically everything, it seems clear that the Frenchman can be a key piece to give rest and relieve someone.
Lenglet injured the femoral biceps of his left leg on February 2, and there was talk of four to five weeks off. He will ultimately go into the short term of recovery, as he could be released 25 days after his injury.
