According to "Daily Sports" report, Barcelona midfielder Bernal will represent the Catalan team in a half-time friendly match. If he performs well, he is likely to play in the next round of the league.

Nearly two months have passed since Bernal returned from a year-long knee injury, and the club has been extra cautious in managing his playing time. Bernal, who has only played a total of half an hour in five games, is eager for more playing time but understands the coaching staff's caution.

On November 18, the Montjuic Olympic Stadium will host the Catalan team against the Palestinian national team, which will be a good opportunity for Bernal. It is understood that the Catalan team and Barcelona have reached an agreement, and Bernal will start in the game and play the full 45 minutes of the first half.

Although this is not an official game, it will be an important step for the players, especially since Barcelona will only get about ten minutes of playing time. In addition, Bernal was not selected for the Spanish U21 national team this time.

If Bernal performs well in this friendly match and even proves that he can take on more game tasks, he may get a chance against Athletic Bilbao on November 22. De Jong will miss the game due to suspension, Pedri has yet to return, and Casado is doubtful due to a muscle strain, although his subsequent diagnosis was reassuring.
