Rodri has taken a step forward in his recovery by joining Barcelona’s group training, but his involvement in upcoming games is not guaranteed, according to Superdeporte.

The Spanish midfielder is progressing, yet the coaching staff are keeping a cautious approach to minimise any risk on his return.

Working back with the squad is encouraging, although it reduces the likelihood of an instant bow. He still needs to complete successive recovery stages and rediscover rhythm before being passed fit to compete.

All indications are that the club are likely to prioritise his physical condition and resist accelerating the schedule, despite strong anticipation to see him in blaugrana.

His eventual return would offer significant reinforcement in midfield. Rodri is viewed as a potential cornerstone of the project, but patience from player and staff remains essential to avoid setbacks and ensure he is fully ready.
