Footballers Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé have returned to FC Barcelona training today, having recovered from their hamstring injuries, and could be ready for the match against Atlético de Madrid.

After a period of rest due to the international break, FC Barcelona resumed its activities today with the notable presence of Balde and Koundé. Both players had been sidelined for approximately one month.
The two defenders, who suffered hamstring injuries, completed the training session with the rest of the squad, with the exception of the international players who have not yet rejoined. This return to group work suggests that their recovery is progressing well.
The reintegration of Balde and Koundé opens the door for their potential participation in the upcoming league fixture against Atlético de Madrid. The team trained at pitch 2 of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and has another session scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, to prepare for this important clash.
The match against the 'Colchoneros' will be the first of a series of three encounters that the Blaugrana squad will play in ten days against the Madrid team, marking a crucial stretch of the season.
