Forward Víctor Barberá is nearing the end of his recovery following a five-month injury layoff caused by a ruptured hamstring tendon in late October. Since last week, he has been training with the ball and is expected to gradually rejoin team workouts, although he won’t feature in the upcoming match against Atlético Baleares.
Before his injury, Barberá was in excellent form, scoring six goals and providing two assists in just seven games. His contributions were vital for Barça Atlètic, which has struggled this season due to a series of injuries affecting the squad.
With Barberá’s return, coach Juliano Belletti can once again field two central strikers—a configuration that showed promise early in the season when both Barberá and Òscar Gisau were available. Alongside new signing Joaquín Delgado and pending arrival Hamza Abdelkarim, the team is looking to strengthen its attack. Key matches against Atlético Baleares, Girona B, Ibiza-Pitiusas, and San Andreu lie ahead this March.
Barberá’s comeback improves Barça Atlètic’s attacking depth and boosts their chances in the fiercely competitive race for promotion back to Primera Federación. This development could be crucial for the team’s ambition to bounce back after last season’s relegation.
