Mathieu and Rafinha given green light, but Barça still waiting on Iniesta

Two of the three Barcelona players that trained on Thursday and Friday without the medical green light, Jeremy Mathieu and Rafinha, have now been given the all-clear to return to competitive action.

Both will be available for Barça's match with Sevilla on Saturday evening, as confirmed by the club themselves.

Luis Enrique, therefore, has a decision to make. Mathieu is likely to start, but whether it will be alongside Gerard Pique or Javier Mascherano is still unknown.

Andres Iniesta, though, is now the only player in the squad without the all-clear from the club medics. 

Despite his recovery nearing completion - he's been training this week - he will not be called up for Sevilla, reserved instead for the Champions League match against Apoel.

The 23 players in Luis Enrique's first team squad trained on Friday, with Munir El Haddadi once again involed. Barça's boss will reveal who's made the squad for the match on Saturday.
