Luis Enrique keeps his cards hidden from Atletico coach Simeone

The Barça coach wouldn't give any updates on Javier Mascherano or Arda Turan's fitness

In a brief press conference, Luis Enrique refused to reveal any information on the fitness of Javier Mascherano or Arda Turan.  

He would neither confirm nor deny if either player could be available for Sunday's league game at the Vicente Calderon against Atletico Madrid. 

"We will find out after today’s training session," he said when asked about the duo. 

"Both are much better than they were before; their recoveries going well... but I can’t decide if they go to Madrid or not until after today’s training session." 

Asked on what they lack if Mascherano doesn't play, he responded: "I said I don’t know if he will play because we have a training session today." 

Mascherano has missed three games -- PSG, Alaves and Leganes -- so far with a hamtring injury, while Arda has been absent since earlier this month with a groin problem.

The Turkish international is more likely to recover in time for Sunday's big game in Madrid.
