Returns to team training
Rodri (back) returned to team training Monday as he continues his recovery following offseason back surgery, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Analysis: Rodri trained with his teammates Monday after previously being limited to individual work following his arrival. The midfielder missed the season opener against Elche but has taken an important step toward making his debut after undergoing back surgery following the World Cup. Thursday's clash against Athletic Club could come into consideration if Rodri continues to progress in team training over the next few days.
Won't be option Sunday
Rodri (back) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Elche, according to Alberto Sierra of Diario AS.
Analysis: Rodri has been training on the side and won't be an option for Barca's league opener, but the star midfielder is progressing in his recovery from the back surgery he sustained in the summer after the World Cup. Rodri's potential debut with Los Blaugranas could come against Athletic Club on Thursday, Aug. 27.
