Barcelona midfielders Andres Iniesta and Sergi Roberto have been included in Luis Enrique's 18-man squad to face Getafe on Saturday, after overcoming hamstring and groin injuries respectively.
Iniesta has been sidelined for a month since pulling up in a 2-1 win over Bayern Leverkusen, while the versatile Roberto returns after just ten days out.
Their return is a timely boost for the European champions with Enrique's midfield options reduced to the bare bones by Rafinha's long-term knee injury and Javier Mascherano's suspension for Barcelona's next two league games.
Lionel Messi misses out once more as he continues to recover from knee ligament damage.
