22 - Marc Bernal

Gavi knows all about what it’s like to face a long spell out with knee issues and has sent a message to Bernal after seeing him back in action for Barca.
He responded to a video of Bernal’s recovery on Instagram stories with the message: “Anyone who has had this injury knows how hard it is, I’m very happy, brother.”

I like intersting and unique player profiles. I'm very excited to watch Woltemade for the same reason. Guy can be an absolute unicorn.

I was watching Barca when Flick first came in and Bernal caught my eye straight away. More so than Casado who's a much more common profile/playing style.

But does he remind you of a 19 year old Oriol Romeu?

That is actually a half serious question.

I like him too but favourite is a very hipster take since he's played like 4 senior games, especially Pedri having developed into a mostly complete midfielder while being a wizard.

Hopefully the club learns from this gavi situation

Like I've been saying 12 months of physical recovery another 6-12 of on field recovery, before the player is fully back.

Don't rush it.

False.. Gavi was not rushed at all.

Likes of Rodri played after 8 months and still barely been a year.

As have been told plenty of times.. 2 years is a fabricated timeline for players to be 'fully back' as seen with plenty of examples.

The way he plays is way less harsh on the joints than Gavi, so we can't apply apples to all.

Freak injury first time mind. Iirc was poor weather though.

After 6 months came back banging goals and as fast as ever. In fact his post acl career is even more brilliant than pre-acl.
