"The 17-year-old La Masia gem, a regular presence in first-team sessions, picked up the knock on September 13 during Barça Atletic's match against Andratx. A poor pitch condition contributed to the injury, with the uneven surface causing a bad twist in Guille's ankle - an issue that the reserve side faces frequently this season due to subpar playing fields across Segunda RFEF. It has been around six weeks since that setback, and after recently completing individual drills on the grass, Guille is expected to rejoin group training this week."
"Guille's recovery has progressed even better than anticipated, with the club ensuring he takes every step without rushing. Flick & Co. watching closely If his progress continues smoothly, he could be ready for selection this weekend, either with Hansi Flick's first team (given the absences of Dani Olmo and Pedri) or with Barça Atletic. The young midfielder completed the full pre-season under Flick, travelled on the team's Asian tour, and even made his first-team debut in Korea."
Guille Fernandez, a 17-year-old La Masia midfielder who trained regularly with the first team, is nearing recovery from an ankle injury suffered on September 13 during Barça Atlètic's match against Andratx. The injury involved the tibioperoneal ligament of the left ankle and was aggravated by poor pitch conditions common in Segunda RFEF. After around six weeks out and completing individual drills on grass, Guille is expected to rejoin group training this week. His recovery has exceeded initial expectations due to careful management. If progress remains smooth, he could be available for selection this weekend for either Hansi Flick's first team or Barça Atlètic.
