Barcelona fans have a reason to smile as Ferran Torres returned to partial training with the group on Thursday, raising hopes of a full recovery ahead of the crucial fixtures coming up. The Spanish forward had been dealing with an overload that forced him to leave the Spain national team camp early, sparking concerns about his availability for the coming matches.

Hansi Flick will be relieved to see the attacker back on the training pitch, as Ferran completed part of today’s session alongside his teammates. While he’s not yet fully match-fit, the signs are positive, and the goal remains to have him ready for the weekend clash against Girona at Montjuïc.

Barcelona are entering a decisive period in their season, with a local derby against Girona followed by the much-anticipated El Clásico against Real Madrid next weekend. Flick will be eager to have Ferran available, given the team’s recent struggles with injuries in attack.
