Barcelona can completely secure the La Liga title on Sunday if they beat Real Madrid in El Clasico, and their chances seem to have increased in recent days with the news that a player who is expected to miss the game that would now be available at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company.
Hansi Flick has to collect the troops after the devastating Champions League exit on Tuesday by Inter, and it appears that he has more players available than he introduced to Milan at the beginning of the week.
That is because Marc Casado will receive the medical green light for El Clasico, as reported by MD. The midfielder has been out since March after he had sustained an injury to Atletico Madrid, and although he was expected to miss two months of action, he returned to schedule.
Casado has been an important player for Barcelona since he broke into the first team last summer. He was an undisputed starter earlier in the season, and although he lost his place to Frenkie de Jong prior to his injury, he remains an important option for Flick.
Barcelona not only has Casado available, but must also be able to count on Real Madrid on Alejandro Bald. The defender normally trained again on Friday and in addition to any last-minute setbacks, he should also receive the medical green light from the club's medical team, although it is unlikely that he will be able to start in view of the fact that he has been out in the past four weeks.
In addition to Casado and Balde, Barcelona Robert Lewandowski have 100% after his cameee against Inter. The Polish striker wants to take his place back in the starting line-up of Ferran Torres, who has impressed in recent weeks.
