Aitana Bonmatí returns to training with FC Barcelona after four months out

The Spanish midfielder of FC Barcelona Aitana Bonmatí is close to her return to the playing fields and this Thursday she took an almost definitive step by carrying out her first training session with the entire group, according to the Blaugrana team.

The triple Ballon d’Or winner was seriously injured at the end of November in training with the national team on the eve of playing the second leg of the Nations League final against Germany. The one from San Pere de Ribes, “after poor support in a fortuitous action”, as indicated that day by the RFEF, suffered a fracture in her left fibula.

Bonmatí underwent surgery on December 2 and FC Barcelona reported that she would be “around five months” without playing, a period that the Catalan soccer player seems to have shortened to be ready for the decisive stretch of the season, especially in the Champions League, with the start of the semifinals against the German Bayern Munich scheduled for April 25.

“I can’t confirm anything, but my goal is to be there that day (Bayern). I couldn’t be there the other day (against Real Madrid) with my teammates and I saw it from the outside, which was an exciting day and the crowd responded very well, but seeing it from the outside hurts, so I hope at least to be able to be inside the next time,” the Blaugrana said this Wednesday at the Movistar+ microphone.
