The Barcelona captain will start training with the first-team as the club doctors have given him the green light and the footballing world will soon see him in action again.
Puyol’s comeback to the first-team will definitely be welcomed, especially with Tito Vilanova stretching over the team’s defensive problems.
Barcelona were not able to win the Champions League and the Spanish La Liga last season, as their first-team defenders were not available to them at all times.
While Pique was often found injured, Eric Abidal is still recovering from the liver tumour which was diagnosed two seasons ago.
Moreover, Daniel Alves also broke his collarbone towards the end of the season and Carles Puyol also experienced a knee problem.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Alves has returned to first-team action, Carles Puyol was recently given the green light by the club doctors, to train with the first-team.
The club captain had to go through a surgery in order to make a comeback to the first-team and there is no doubt that he will take a little time to completely heal from the injury which he experienced last season.
Puyol’s injury kept him out of the Copa del Rey final and Spain’s Euro 2012 campaign. However, in both the scenarios, the respective teams did not miss his presence and came out with the winning trophy.
However, next season, the competition will be intense for Barcelona and Tito Vilanova has taken charge of the club, and there are a lot of expectations attached with him.
Most of the player who participated in the Euro 2012 triumph have also returned to the training ground for the Catalan giants, and Carles Puyol will also start training with them.
Barcelona have played out two of their pre-season friendlies and they have won them both.
Soon, the Spanish giants will be taking on the French side, Paris St Germain, and the Premier League giants, Manchester United.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 is still not expected to start playing for Barcelona as he is still recovering from his injury.
The Catalan centre-back might join the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 first-team when they take on Real Madrid for the Supercopa de Espana which is scheduled to take place later next month.
