Barcelona’s Busquets back at training ahead of Roma clash
Barcelona, April 2 (IANS) Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets was back at training on Monday, after a leg injury kept him sidelined for around three weeks, and is likely to play in two days’ time against Roma in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Busquets, 29, sustained a fractured phalanx of the fifth toe of his right foot during the Champions League round of 16 second leg game against Chelsea last month, which prevented him from participating in any of his club’s or the Argentinian national team’s games, reports Efe.
“In good news, midfielder Sergio Busquets trained as part of the group, alongside his first team teammates and Barça B players,” the club announced.
Barcelona B players Carles Alena, Jorge Cuenca, Dani Morer, Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla, Samu Araujo and Riqui Puig also took part in the training session at the Joan Gamper Sports City.
Another training session is to be held on Tuesday prior to Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde’s press conference.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
