Raphinha and Bernal cleared to play for Barcelona against Osasuna

FC Barcelona receives a much-needed boost as key players Raphinha and Marc Bernal are cleared to play in the crucial match against Osasuna at El Sadar. The availability of the Brazilian forward, in particular, is a welcome sight after his absence was felt keenly in recent decisive games.

Raphinha's return from a thigh injury sustained in late March marks the end of a frustrating period for the Catalan club, who missed his attacking threat in vital Champions League fixtures. Similarly, the recovery of young talent Marc Bernal from an ankle sprain provides depth in midfield for Barcelona's demanding schedule.

While the return of these two players is significant, Barcelona will still be without Lamine Yamal and Andreas Christensen due to injury, and Jules Kounde through suspension. The inclusion of Eric Garcia, back from suspension, offers some reinforcement to the defense. The team's lineup for the match reflects a mix of returning stars and ongoing absences as they navigate the final stretch of the season.
