Barcelona’s Super Cup Boost: Pedri Returns to Training, Cancelo Progresses, but Martinez Faces Uncertainty

In a prelude to their Spanish Super Cup semi-final clash against Osasuna, Barcelona received encouraging injury updates on Wednesday, offering a glimmer of hope ahead of the crucial fixture in Saudi Arabia.

Diario AS reports that Pedri participated in a normal training session with the group, raising expectations for his potential inclusion in the game, pending Xavi’s selection.

The Portuguese full-back, Joao Cancelo, was also seen training, although he worked separately with the physios and not alongside the rest of the teammates.

In contrast, Inigo Martinez’s absence from both the training field and the gym signaled bleak prospects for his involvement in the Supercopa, despite being included in the squad.

Barcelona, eager to secure a spot in the final, will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid if they overcome Osasuna. Notably, Barca clinched the trophy in the same competition last January, adding an extra layer of anticipation to their semi-final showdown.
