Injured Barcelona gem wants to give up his vacations to get back to full fitness ahead of the pre-season | OneFootball

Most FC Barcelona players are currently enjoying their vacations as the 2024-25 season ended in an incredible way for the Blaugrana team, which won the domestic treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Spanish Super Cup.

Some others are still working, as they continue to train and play with their respective national teams, as was the case with Gerard Martin and Pablo Torre last night.

Marc Bernal does not want vacation

Meanwhile, there is one Blaugrana player for whom the season has just started, i.e., Marc Bernal, as Mundo Deportivo reports that the midfielder does not want to go on vacation and is working individually to get back to his best level for the upcoming pre-season.

The young midfielder had suffered an ACL tear in the left knee on August 27th, thus being sidelined for the entirety of the season at its very beginning.

Now, after spending ten months on the sidelines recovering from this injury, he is already in the final stages of his recovery process and is giving his all to get back to his best level.

Hansi Flick has set July 13th as the date for his Barcelona team to report to him before the pre-season, and Bernal has that date marked prominently on his calendar.

However, it is not yet clear whether he will be able to train with the rest of his teammates starting this date, and he is in no hurry to do so.

Still, he is working hard to get back in his best condition, and Hansi Flick will also be keen to have him back at full fitness for the next season. Before his injury, he was one of the most surprising players in the Barcelona squad.

Now, after missing the last season, Marc Bernal would want to make a similar impact this season, and hopefully, he will be meet the expectations that the fans have set on him.
