Ebrima Tunkara, Barça Atlètic's promising 16-year-old midfielder, has returned to the field after a ligament injury that cost him six games. His return came in the match against SD Logroñés, where he came on to replace Catovic and contributed a 20-minute performance that helped the team secure a 1‑0 victory.
The injury occurred during a friendly in Vilanova, when Tunkara received a very strong blow to his left ankle. The recovery at the Ciutat Esportiva followed the expected deadlines and the young player has returned to the necessary form to compete in the First Federation. The club has highlighted that, despite his age, his potential makes him a special case within La Masia and hopes that he will be a key piece of the reserve team this season.
Tunkara wears the number 10, a symbol of confidence on the part of the technical management. Although he should normally play in Juvenil B, his talent has led him to play games with the main team. Furthermore, the midfielder has on his horizon participation in the U-18 World Cup, which will be held between November and December, which adds an international dimension to his development.
Barça Atlètic's next matches will be against Utebo at home and Olot, where Tunkara and his teammates will seek to consolidate their position in the table. The return of the young midfielder is presented as a coup for the team, reinforcing the creativity and vision of the game in the midfield. With his return, the club hopes that Tunkara's talent will continue to grow and that he will contribute significantly to the season's goals.
