FC Barcelona midfielder Mark Bernal gains approval from medical staff to rejoin team activities before the Valencia encounter. The young player endured 382 days away from football following an anterior cruciate ligament tear sustained during the Rayo Vallecano fixture. Barcelona secured a 2-1 victory in that third-round clash from the previous campaign when Bernal suffered the serious knee injury. Team physicians have declared him fit for selection as the club prepares for their upcoming La Liga commitment.
Barcelona announced the positive development through their official social media channels on platform X. Bernal accumulated 244 minutes across three first-team appearances before the injury ended his participation last season. The midfielder returns to competitive consideration after completing his extensive rehabilitation program. Valencia represents his potential return match as Barcelona continues its current league campaign. Medical experts have confirmed his readiness to resume professional duties with the Catalan club.
