Barcelona given enormous fitness boost ahead of Real Madrid clash

  /  autty

After a tough defeat to Inter during the week, Barcelona are faced with the task of picking themselves up for what could be a decisive El Clasico against bitter rivals Real Madrid. With just four games to go, the pair are separated by just four points, and the Blaugrana have the tougher run-in after the big match.

The Blaugrana will at least be back at Montjuic for the clash, but will be trying to massage their way back into form, after playing a second extra time in the space of just ten days, the first against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.

They have been given a major boost on Thursday though, as they returned to training following a day off. As per Sport as per Sempre Barca, left-back Alejandro Balde has returned to training with the group after a hamstring injury that has kept him out for the best part of a month. He was expected to be back against Inter, but did not make sufficient progress, and it appears the extra few days have made the difference.
