Ass: Barcelona midfielder Bernal may return against Valencia on September 14

August 20th, the Spanish media Ass reported that Barcelona midfielder Bernal may return against Valencia on September 14.

Bernal has been practicing with the team for a long time. He had reached nearly the same training intensity as his teammates in the early stages of pre-season preparation and participated in all projects at the same pace. But the coaching staff and medical team are extremely cautious about long-term injuries, which was the case in Garvey last year (it took nearly a year to obtain medical permission). Now Bernal will follow the same process and is expected to be allowed to return after the national team game week, that is, when he faces Valencia at home on September 14.

This means that Bernal's recovery cycle has actually exceeded one year. The player suffered a torn cruciate ligament at home in Vallecano on August 27 last year and accompanied by meniscus injury.

Although there have been predictions within the club that its recovery cycle may be shortened, and even set the Gambel Cup as a potential comeback node, the coaching staff finally chose to adopt a more conservative plan to maximize risk avoidance. Therefore, although Bernal has already participated in the joint training, he still has to wait for nearly a month to return to the field.
