BREAKING NEWS : MARCA delivers surprising and “unsettling” update on a Barcelona injury ahead of their Champions League match

Ferran Torres is expected to return to action in Barcelona’s upcoming La Liga match against Las Palmas, according to a report by Javier Miguel in AS. This development confirms that the forward, who participated in training today, will not be available for Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League clash against Brest.

Initially, there was optimism that Torres might recover in time to feature in the Champions League tie. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, encouraged by the forward’s progress, was hopeful of including him in the squad if no further setbacks occurred.

However, there were doubts about whether Torres would start, as the coach had other tactical options to consider.

The primary reason for Torres’ absence from the Brest fixture is his recent return to group training. Monday marked his first session with the squad since sustaining an injury earlier this season.

Torres suffered a hamstring tear during Barcelona’s match against Alaves, an injury that forced him off the field after just six minutes of play.

Following the incident, medical assessments confirmed the severity of the injury, and the club announced that the 24-year-old would be sidelined for approximately seven to eight weeks.

His injury led to him missing several key matches, including crucial home games against Sevilla, Bayern Munich, and Espanyol, as well as challenging away fixtures against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, and Crvena Zvezda. These absences affected both Barcelona’s domestic and European campaigns.

Recent updates indicate that Torres is nearing full recovery and is in the final stages of rehabilitation. Despite the progress, Barcelona has opted not to rush his return to competitive play.

It was initially anticipated that the international break might accelerate his fitness, but the club appears cautious about ensuring he is fully prepared before reintroducing him to the lineup.

As it stands, Torres will not participate in the Champions League match against Brest but is expected to make his comeback during Barcelona’s La Liga encounter with Las Palmas. This decision reflects the team’s prioritization of his long-term fitness and readiness for the demanding schedule ahead.
