Ceballos, meanwhile, will be available on Sunday for the visit to Alavés (16:15)as well as for the return of Champions rooms against Arsenal (Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.). The Utrerano had won ownership this year, given the doubts of Carlo Ancelotti in the center of the field with Tchouaméni and Camavinga. Madrid also hopes to recover this week Ferland Mendy, who also has been out of a month for a muscle injury.
Maximum concern in Barcelona for Alejandro Balde
In that sense, Barça seriously fears for the presence of bucket in the Cartuja. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, The side could have suffered an injury in the femoral biceps that would turn away from the action for about three weeks. Only 15 days after the Cup final, Alex would be discarded for the classic if Sunday tests confirm a muscular breakage.
“I have broken,” the defender would have said after leaving for Butarque. Hansi Flick, on the other hand, also expressed concern about the possible decline in the canterano, although he avoided giving prior forecasts to the official medical part. In that sense, those of Flick would suffer a very sensitive decline in defense, beyond the good level Gerard Martín has shown in his last presentations.
Balde adds 1 goal and 10 assists in 43 games (3,291 minutes) With Barça this season. In the last classic, played in Arabia in January (the Super Cup final), the side scored the partial 4-1 before the rest in the Barca beating (2-5). In addition, the defender was only a substitute in 4 of the 24 games played by the team this 2025 (2 of the cup, 2 of the cup).
Dani Olmo, the good news that Barça expects
Who should return to action with Barça this week is Dani Olmodrop since the end of March for an injury to the right adductor. Terrassa could travel with the team to Dortmund for the Champions League rematch, but Hansi Flick is likely to book him for the clash against Celta next Saturday in Montjuïc.
The other injured of the Barca team (Marc Bernal, Ter Stegeny Marc Casadó) They are practically discarded until next season, although the last two still maintain a minimal hope of reappearing in mid -May, which could be available for the last three league days and a hypothetical Champions Final.
