Bernal has made the trip to Japan and South Korea for Barcelona’s pre-season tour, although he is not expected to play any minutes in any of the planned matches. Hansi Flick, who is counting on the teenager to be a very important player during the upcoming season, will not take any risks with his recovery.
As per MD, the plan with Bernal is for him to possibly be involved in the Joan Gamper Trophy, which takes place a week before the new season starts – although again, he will not be forced to play as this is the club’s most confident outlook on the matter.
Even if Bernal plays against Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy, the plan would not be for him to play any competitive matches before the first international break of the season in September. The current idea is for his return to be against Valencia on MD4, which is also Barcelona’s first home fixture of the campaign.
Ovako nekako. Otišao u Aziju dgvp. Igraće malo protiv Coma, ali je cilj četvrto kolo i tekma protiv Valencie.
