Champions League: Barca boosted by Deco return ahead of semis clash with United Wed. April 16, 2008 05:37 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -
(SomaliNet) As they prepare to meet Manchester United in Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona have been boosted by the return to training of midfielder Deco.
The Portuguese ace has been out of action for more than a month with a calf injury but could be ready to make a comeback in time for the first leg tie at the Nou Camp on April 23.
But Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard still has several injury concerns to contend with ahead of the United double-header.
France striker Thierry Henry and Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta both remain sidelined, while teenage sensation Bojan Krkic also missed the weekend's 2-2 draw with Recreativo.
Krkic returned to training with Deco, while Henry and Iniesta both continue to work on their respective injuries separately.
And doubts persist over the form and fitness of Ronaldinho, who also missed Saturday's game at the Nuevo Colombino, and has this week been strongly linked with a move to Milan.-Eurosport
