Barcelona star ‘in the final stretch’ of recovery from injury | OneFootball

Barcelona star Ferran Torres is closing on an imminent return to competitive action.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Wednesday provided an update on the wellbeing of the versatile attacker.

Ferran has for his part been sidelined since early last month, owing to a hamstring injury suffered during a La Liga meeting with Deportivo Alavés.

The former Manchester City man has since been forced to sit out six fixtures, all but one of which Barcelona managed to emerge victorious from.

Nevertheless, though, with his options relatively limited up top outside of first-choice front three Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, Hansi Flick is no doubt eager to have Ferran back at his disposal as soon as possible.

And, as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then as much should be forthcoming imminently.

As per Sport, based on the original diagnosis of Ferran’s injury, the best-case scenario could see the 24-year-old available for selection in Barca’s next outing, against Celta Vigo on November 23rd.

A more pessimistic outlook, meanwhile, would still see Ferran back on the pitch in the first week of December.
