The list of covocados by Xavi Hernández for the crash in front of the Mallorca in Camp Nou confirmed the recovery of two effective in the staff of the FC Barcelona. On the one hand, Ansu Fati returns to the action after more than three months of drop by his last injury in the biceps femoral. To his time, Samuel Umtiti has received the high doctor after his fracture in the fifth metatarsiano and will be available to play. The another novelty of the list, Ousmane Dembélé, the one who attained to recover of an amigdalitis.

Ansu was injured on January 20 in extra time in the Copa del Rey round of 16 match at San Mamés against Athletic (3-2 loss and elimination). The youth squad had to leave the field in the 96th minute between tears and, days later, the injury to the proximal tendon of the femoral biceps of the left leg was confirmed. In principle, his return was scheduled for mid-April, but the coaching staff preferred to wait to avoid a relapse.

And it is that the continuous injuries suffered by the man from Bissau after his meniscus tear in 2020 have been a real 'ordeal' for the striker. Of course, every time he returns from a prolonged loss, the '10' usually converts something, for which the Camp Nou fans hope that the youth squad's scoring streak will continue on Sunday and that this will be his last 'redebut' forced by an injury.

In the case of Umtiti, the center-back fractured the fifth metatarsal due to a blow to his left foot suffered in training on January 17, for which he was forced to undergo surgery. The one from Yaoundé has only played one game in the 2021-22 season, on December 12 against Osasuna in Pamplona (2-2). That day, the Frenchman played the 90 minutes. Just a week before his injury, the 28-year-old defender had signed his contract extension until June 2026.

Dembélé overcame his tonsillitis and is ready to play

Osumane seemed ruled out for the match against Mallorca due to tonsillitis that prevented him from training on Saturday. However, Xavi assured that he would wait until the last moment for his evolution and ended up including him in the call, for which he will be available to reinforce the Blaugrana attack. If he is at 100%, he will surely return to the eleven along with Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, forming what has been the star forward of the Egarense coach in the second half of the season.
