Since then, the progress has been deemed sufficiently positive to consider a return to collective training, an essential step before a call-up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Goal: to be (at least) in the squad<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to several consistent reports, the match against FC Barcelona is seen as the first realistic opportunity to see Ounahi back in the squad, although a direct return to the starting eleven seems unlikely after a prolonged absence. The coaching staff still needs to make a decision after the latest training sessions and final medical evaluations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A valuable reinforcement for M\u00edchel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For Girona, recovering Ounahi \u2014 even as a substitute \u2014 would represent a significant advantage in managing the tempo, ball progression, and the ability to withstand Barcelona&#8217;s pressing.
