Medical: Green light for Jorquera

Last Monday, Barcelona goalkeeper Albert jorquera (29) received the green light from the Barcelona medicall staff. After nine months, the goalkeeper is ready to play again.

On 29 December of last year, Jorquera got injured at his right knee ligament during a friendly game with the Catalan national team. He returned to squad training last Friday (read more here).

In an interview with the club's official media, Jorquera said he was delighted to be finally back: "When you suffer a long-term injury like mine, it seems like the day of return will never come. I have gone through a hard time but you forget about that the day you return to work with the group.

Especially the first two months were very difficult. I had days with incredibly hard work but very little result. I spent a lot of hours in bed and at the hospital and I look back at those days as a intensely tough experience.

Now I'm again able to compete and fully rejoin the squad. There are three first team goalkeepers this season, which is something I only know from my first season when I was the third goalkeeper and at the same time playing with the B team. It's a new situation but I will behave like I have always done, with a competitive spirit and with the same motivation to work hard."
