Pau Cubarsi trains in protective mask, set to feature for Barcelona vs Real Sociedad

Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi was back in training on Saturday as the Catalans prepare for Sunday’s La Liga trip to Real Sociedad.

The defender needed stitches in a facial wound in midweek after a nasty collision in Barcelona’s Champions League win in Belgrade.

However, he was back on the training pitch on Saturday but wearing a protective mask as Hansi Flick put his side through their paces.

Cubarsi is thought to be eager to play against La Real despite the injury.
