The 18-year-old midfielder has a strong chance to help his team in the all-important return fixture at the Metropolitano.

Details: According to DiarioAS, Barcelona's 18-year-old holding midfielder Marc Bernal could recover from an ankle dislocation and feature against Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Bernal suffered the ankle dislocation during the La Liga Matchday 30 clash against the same Atletico Madrid, leaving the pitch in the 40th minute. At present, Marc is undergoing intensive rehabilitation and has already returned to team training, making his comeback on April 14 highly likely.

This season, Bernal has made 28 appearances for Barcelona, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist. According to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at €30 million, and his contract with Barcelona runs until 2029.

Reminder: A radical step. Raphinha no longer trusts Barcelona's medical staff and brings in specialist from Brazil
