Guardiola: ‘Carles Puyol has been training very well, having him back in the team is extremely important for us. I want to say thank you for his efforts’
Guardiola: ‘Puyol is fundamental for us, he’s our captain and can give the team things others can’t. He’s very experienced and has suffered lots. He’s a player who supports others and will now compete for a place in the team with other great central defenders’
Guardiola: ‘Puyol will be recover his fitness step by step’
– After 8 months in the sidelines and a couple of failed returns, I feel it’s time for FC Barcelona to welcome El Capitano back for good. No more injuries allowed, let’s hope for a bit of luck to our legendary player please!!!
But as Guardiola hinted with his words above, he now faces the tough task to regain his spot in the team. Mascherano has done fantastically to cover for Puyol while absent, should he keep his place now his fit again? Only Pep has the answer, but I feel Muscle Masche has earnt his right to at least challenge for his playing time in central defense.
Anyways: WELCOME BACK CAPITANO!!!!!!!!!
