Arthur Fit to Play El Clásico - Report

The midfielder had a muscle overburdening in the match against Inter Milan

FC Barcelona midfielder Arthur is expected to be fit to play against Real Madrid this weekend, after he was substituted off against Inter Milan with a muscle overburdening.

Arthur received plenty of plaudits for his performance against Inter, although he was substituted off for Arturo Vidal in the 77th minute, with the score still 1-0. The fans were unaware of the situation, and voiced their displeasure as one of their best performers was subbed off.

“Arthur was suffering from a small overburdening and we did not need to risk it, since we were ahead,” Valverde said in the post-match press conference.

However, the Brazilian should be good to go for el clásico.
