FC Barcelona’s medical team is actively managing the recovery of several key players ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Benfica on March 5, 2025.
Gavi: The midfielder is doubtful for the upcoming match due to illness. He missed a recent training session and is under medical evaluation. Gavi has made a significant impact since returning from an ACL injury, contributing two goals and three assists this season.
Andreas Christensen: The defender has suffered a relapse of a soleus injury and is expected to be sidelined until late March 2025. This marks another setback in a season where he has struggled with fitness issues.
Marc-André ter Stegen: The goalkeeper is recovering from a patellar tendon rupture and is anticipated to be out until June 30, 2025. Despite the lengthy rehabilitation process, ter Stegen remains hopeful of returning before the season concludes.
Marc Bernal: The defensive midfielder is dealing with a cruciate ligament tear, with a projected return date around April 30, 2025.
The club’s physiotherapy department is working diligently to expedite the recovery of these players, aiming to reintegrate them into the squad as swiftly and safely as possible.
