Barcelona's Ebrima Tunkara recovers from ankle injury under careful watch

Ebrima Tunkara, a 16-year-old midfielder for Barcelona Atletic, is recovering from an ankle ligament injury sustained during a reserve-team friendly. The club is taking a cautious approach with his rehabilitation, estimated to last approximately three more weeks before he can return to individualized training. Tunkara had shown promise during pre-season training with the senior squad, impressing Hansi Flick and his staff. Despite the injury, he remains a player of interest for Barcelona’s first team, expected to alternate between Barça Atletic and senior training once fully fit.
