Jordi Alba still doesn't have the medical discharge, but he is closer to playing in the 'Clásico'. The Barca FB trained alongside his teammates on Saturday and could travel to Madrid.
An injury in the right leg adductor, in the match against Getafe, had put his participation in the 'Clásico' in doubt. Feelings in the last few hours have improved and will depend on Quique Setiéin if he is in the squad.
On training on Friday, Jordi Alba already played a part alongside his teammates, but on Saturday he has gone one step further to hurry up for one of the most important matches of the season.
Another one of the injured players ahead of the 'Clásico' was at training. Gerard Piqué was training with the group for the 2nd day in a row, after spraining his ankle against Napoli.
Setién, as well as having first team players available, had youth team players Dani Morer, Collado, Araujo, and Matheus, as well as Ansu Fati at training.
Barcelona, in the 'Clásico', could surprise with the starting XI. Setién rehearsed with Messi, Griezmann, and Braithwaite in the Barca attack ahead of Sunday.
