Barcelona midfielder Rodri Hernandez could be back in contention at the end of November after making a quicker-than-expected recovery from a right hamstring injury.
According to AS, the Spain international’s rehabilitation is progressing well, prompting Barcelona’s medical staff to consider bringing forward his return.
Rodri sustained the injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his right thigh during Barcelona’s Champions League match against Aston Villa on 3 November.
The initial assessment suggested he would be unavailable for four to five weeks. However, Barcelona are now hopeful that he can be included in the squad for their meeting with Deportivo on 29 November.
The club’s plan would allow Rodri to return to competitive action and gain match practice after his spell on the sidelines.
