"The good news is that Balde and Kounde are back, as is Eric. In Frenkie's case, we'll have to wait a little longer; perhaps he can start training next week. We'll take it one step at a time."
"De Jong continued to work inside the gym today, away from the rest of the group, and has yet to set foot on the pitch."
"If everything goes according to plan, De Jong could be available for that crunch encounter."
Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde trained normally with FC Barcelona, providing a fitness boost ahead of the La Liga match against Atletico Madrid. Eric Garcia is also available for the game. Frenkie de Jong remains absent due to a hamstring injury but is expected to return to normal training on Monday. Hansi Flick confirmed De Jong will not travel for the match but may be ready for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Atletico Madrid next week. Marc Bernal is likely to partner with Pedri in midfield until De Jong's return.
