Local News Story: Ibrahimovic is Back!

Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was able to train normally again on Friday after shaking off a calf problem and could feature for the champions in Saturday's match at city rivals Espanyol. Left-back Eric Abidal also returned to the training ground this week after injury as Barca bid to extend their lead over Real Madrid at the top to six points ahead of their arch-rivals' game at home to third-placed Valencia on Sunday. Barca coach Pep Guardiola is hoping there will not be a repeat of the disturbances among fans that have marred some recent meetings between Barca and Espanyol."There's no point in taking things out of context, it's a football match," he said on Friday. "Let's hope there are no incidents and the best team wins."Espanyol will be the most difficult opponent Guardiola's side will face during the remainder of the season, according to Barca's Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure. Ibrahimovi is one of my favourite players and to see him come back puts a smile on my face. Although Zlatan is getting older and is not as good as he once was, he is still a crucial player on Barcelona. I hope he come back player better than ever and kicks ass against Espanyol, and beats InterMilan in the Champions League. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is from Sweden and will not play in the World Cup because they did not make the cuts. Ibrahimovic I’m sure is very upset and will be greatly missed by all his fans this summer.
