FC Barcelona receives double player boost ahead of Copa del Rey clash

FC Barcelona receives double player boost with the return of Joao Cancelo and Andreas Christensen.

FC Barcelona has received some positive news ahead of their upcoming Copa del Rey quarter-final clash against Athletic Club in Bilbao. Two key players, Joao Cancelo and Andreas Christensen, have returned from injury and trained with Xavi Hernandez's first team on Tuesday morning.

Cancelo, who joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, has been a true revelation for the team. He has been a consistent presence on the pitch and has filled the void of a natural right back that the club was missing last season. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a match against Las Palmas on January 4th. Since then, he has been sidelined and sorely missed, especially during their recent 4-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
