Barcelona can all-but secure the La Liga title on Sunday if they defeat Real Madrid in El Clasico, and their chances appear to have increased in recent days with news that a player who was expected to miss the match now scheduled to be available at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Hansi Flick must rally the troops after Tuesday’s devastating Champions League exit at the hands of Inter, and it turns out that he has more players available than he took to Milan at the start of the week.
That’s because Marc Casado will receive the medical green light ahead of El Clasico, as reported by MD. The midfielder has been out since March after picking up an injury against Atletico Madrid, and although he had been expected to miss two months of action, he has returned ahead of schedule.
Casado has been an important player for Barcelona since breaking into the first team last summer. He was an undisputed starter earlier in the season, and although he lost his spot to Frenkie de Jong prior to his injury, he remains a key option for Flick.
As well as having Casado available, Barcelona should also be able to count on Alejandro Balde against Real Madrid. The defender trained normally again on Friday, and barring any last-minute setbacks, he should also receive the medical green light from the club’s medical team – although it is unlikely that he will be able to start given that he has been out for the last four weeks.
As well as Casado and Balde, Barcelona will have Robert Lewandowski at 100% after his cameo against Inter. The Polish striker is aiming to take back his place in the starting line-up from Ferran Torres, who has impressed in recent weeks.

Am not happy he lost this game to Inter....Believe me flick was too complement of his squad and underestimated Inter Milan. He could have start all these injury guys and that could have won him the game...Opportunity as they said It comes but Ones. Take the risk some time once in your life for a certain Goal. Balde Lewen could have started. How does it took them just less than a week to be Available? Anyway word to the wise.
is like u are mad... because he didn't start an injured player thereby he underestimated inter Milan are u ok at all??

He could have just fall back after that 3-2 and win the game.

No doubt Barcelona are La Liga champions as expected. Their Champions League anger will be vented on Real. Expect another "horror movie".
