Barcelona’s Gerard Pique struggling to be fit in time for El Clasico

Gerard Pique’s chances of being fit in time for El Clasico on Saturday are not looking good with the defender reportedly still struggling with a knee problem.

The defender has been back in training over the last week but is yet to complete a full session with the team after suffering a bit of a setback.

Pique trained separately on Tuesday and must now wait until Thursday to see if there’s any chance he will be able to make the game, according to multiple reports in Spain.

The 34-year-old’s chances of playing are currently described as “very complicated” and it seems highly unlikely Ronald Koeman will take any risks with the center-back.
