Barcelona are to face Celtic in the UEFA Champions League during the midweek and the injured centre-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, is expected to make a comeback in the European fixture.
The Spanish centre-back has been out of action for quite some time now but luckily, in the absence of the Brazilian full-back, Adriano, Pique is completing his recovery.
The Catalan giants faced Celta Vigo over the weekend and after a difficult game against their opponents, La Blaugrana were able to win 3-1.
It was a difficult game for the Catalan defence, who also saw the Brazilian full-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773, getting injured for three weeks.
With Adriano also out of the picture, Vilanova had to use Bartra in the line-up and the youngster did a pretty good http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the back.
However, when it comes down to a competition like the UEFA Champions League, it is difficult for young defenders to settle in.
Barcelona faced Celtic in their latest UEFA Champions League game and they found it really hard to beat the Scottish side as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111 scored in the dying moments of the game to give La Blaugrana all three points from the home fixture.
This time, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 travelling away from home, it is going to be a difficult game for the Catalan giants and the Scottish side are going to make things hard for the Catalan defence.
Therefore, the Catalan giants needed an experienced defender and they will now have one as Gerard Pique is going to recover well before time as Barcelona play in the UEFA Champions League.
Currently, Barcelona have won each and every fixture in the European competition. Moreover, they also have an extraordinary record in the Spanish La Liga, as they are currently at the top of the table, 8 points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Gerard Pique’s return to the first team has definitely come in as welcoming news for Tito Vilanova, who was missing out on Pique and Puyol right from the beginning of the season.
While Puyol is out injured because of a dislocated elbow, Pique picked up an ankle injury while playing in the Champions League.
However, the Spaniard is now finally going to return to the first team as La Blaugrana will be taking on the Scottish side, Celtic.
