Barcelona coach Quique Setien says Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are fit to face Mallorca on Saturday.
Barca resume their season today at Mallorca.
Messi missed two training sessions last week with a minor thigh injury, but has been working with the group since Monday.
Meanwhile, Suarez has been given the green light to return after five months out following knee surgery in January.
Asked about Messi’s fitness in a video conference on Friday, Setien said: “In principle, he’s perfectly [fine].
“He has trained perfectly and he looks really good. I don’t see any problem.”
With Suarez, the question is whether he will be included in the first XI or else start from the bench after such a lengthy lay-off.
“He is surely [ready],” Setien said. “Perhaps he is not able to play the whole match and we won’t take the risk.
“He could also start on the bench, but he’s in condition [to play].”
