Rakitic to make comeback following finger surgery
Ivan Rakitic has been given "medical discharge" after undergoing surgery on a broken finger, Barcelona have confirmed.
Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has been cleared to return to action after undergoing surgery on a broken finger.
Rakitic sustained a fractured metacarpal in the first finger of his left hand during Barcelona's stunning 3-0 loss to Roma in the Champions League last week.
The defeat saw Barca sensationally dumped out of the quarter-finals on away goals, having won the first leg 4-1.
Rakitic underwent a procedure to rectify the issue last Wednesday and missed fixtures against Valencia and Celta Vigo as a result.
However, Barcelona confirmed on Thursday that the Croatia international had received "medical discharge" ahead of Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.
