Hansi Flick has included Marc Bernal and Gerard Martin in his Barcelona squad for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
Martin is fit to play after being forced off against Espanyol at the weekend in what will be a big boost for Barca, particularly as Pau Cubarsi is suspended following his red card in the first leg of the quarter-final tie.
Interestingly, Bernal is also included although he’s not been given the green light to return from an ankle sprain just yet.
It had been previously
reported that Bernal would be ready in time for the game, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s given the OK before tomorrow night’s kick-off in the Spanish capital.
Hansi Flick is likely to offer an update on the fitness of Bernal later on today when he faces the press ahead of the big game against Diego Simeone’s side.
Barcelona have also confirmed that Pau Cubarsi will travel with the team to Madrid despite being unable to play in the game.
Flick is thought to want to have as much of the squad together as possible to build team spirit in what’s a huge game for both teams.
