>Barcelona Women have received great news following the confirmation by coach Pere Romeu that Aitana Bonmatí is ready to return to Sunday’s semi-final against Bayern Munich once she has recovered from her injury.

Bonmatí, 28, has not played for Barça since breaking the fibula while concentrated with the Spanish national team last November.

However, the three-time Ballon d'Or winner returned to practice in early April and goes into consideration for this weekend's game at the Spotify Camp Nou, with the knockout tied at 1-1 after the first leg in Munich.

"It will be available," Barça coach Romeu told TV3. “We’ll see how the two sessions that remain before the match against Bayern go, but it has already completed several sessions."

"(On Wednesday) we had a good session in large spaces and he overcame it without any problems. It will be available on Sunday."

Bonmatí’s return comes at a time when Barça are looking to seal their pass to the sixth consecutive Champions League final.

Romeu has successfully aligned the young Vicky López and Clara Serrajordi with Patri Guijarro and Alexia Putellas in the middle of the field during the absence of Bonmatí, but the return of the Spanish international expands her options at a key moment of the season.

Last week’s first leg at the Allianz Arena ended 1-1, with Bayern’s Franziska Kett, neutralizing Ewa Pajor’s previous goal before being expelled in the final minutes.

The Blaugranas now have the opportunity to secure a place in another European final, which will be played in Oslo on May 23 against Arsenal or OL Lyon, when they host Bayern at the Camp Nou on Sunday.

If they beat the German team, either of the two finals would be an exciting matchup: Barça are eager to avenge the defeat suffered in last season’s final against Arsenal, while a showdown with Lyon would face their former coach, Jonatan Giráldez.

Barça also has the Queen’s Cup final against Atlético de Madrid on May 16, with the aim of achieving the second quadruple in the team’s history.

They have already secured their seventh consecutive league F title, although they still have four league games left to play — which could help Bonmati accumulate important minutes —, joining the Spanish Super Cup they won in January.
