Ibrahim Diarra closing in on return from injury at Barcelona

Barcelona Atletic midfielder Ibrahim Diarra is closing in on a return to fitness after picking up an injury in pre-season.

However, he was back at the Ciutat Esportiva on Tuesday to work alone as he steps up his recovery from the injury.

The hope is that Diarra will be able to return to action soon and go on to make his first appearance of the season with Juliano Belletti’s Barcelona Atletic side.
