Pique Eyeing a possible early return from injury
Barcelona was given a major boost ahead of next week’s El- Clasico after it was reported that center-back Gerard Pique could return in time for April 10th’s clash against Real Madrid.
Pique was originally injured over a month ago when he sprained his knee during Barcelona’s Copa Del Rey victory over Sevilla.
It was feared he could miss the rest of the season, but the 34- year-old is ahead of his schedule.
Although it remains a long shot for Pique to return in time for El Clasico. he is nevertheless keeping a positive outlook.
“I will try to play against Real Madrid. I will go day by day. I’ll try to be there as soon as possible.
Pique is an important player for Barcelona’s campaign and it was his injury-time header that saw Barcelona go forward in the Copa Del Rey finals where they face Athletic Club.
