The FC Barcelona football organization has seen various developments regarding player availability due to injuries.

In the Barça Atlètic squad, Josué Caicedo and Ebrima Tunkara have been medically cleared to return to action following recoveries from hamstring and ligament injuries, respectively. Their return provides depth as the team maintains its position in the Segunda RFEF.

For the senior FC Barcelona team, defenders Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen have returned to training and are expected to be available for the La Liga match against Atlético Madrid. Their return follows a period of muscle injuries, though the squad continues to manage absences from Jules Koundé, Rodri, Dani Olmo, Xavi Espart, and Roony Bardghji. To address these shortages, manager Hansi Flick has integrated youth players, including Ebrima Tunkara, into training sessions.
