It's not all bad news for Barcelona. Clément Lenglet advanced in his recovery and is practically ready for the Champions League last 16 second leg match between Barcelona and Napoli.
The Frenchman did part of the work with the group on Thursday and will not miss the vital match against the Italians on 8th August.
A match that has been in the news this very Thursday because of UEFA's request of guarantees to the Catalan government for the match to take place with no risks. Portugal had offered UEFA alternatives, but it seems that the match will be able to take place with no need for a change of venue.
'AS' informed, in relation to the French defender, that Barcelona are continuing to advance towards a renewal with an improved salary for the ex-Sevilla player.
Lenglet has turned out to be one of the best cost-effective signings from Barcelona in the last few years.
