Neymar and Sergio Busquets set for Barcelona return against Malaga

Luis Enrique has his trident back. Leo Messi and Luis Suarez will be joined by Neymar for the game against Malaga on Saturday night (20.30 CET).

The Brazilian received his medical clearance to play on Saturday morning, after missing the start of the season and the UEFA Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup after being infected by mumps.

The player trained normally for the past couple of days and Luis Enrique said he was ready to feature in his Friday press conference. The coach said thanks to Neymar's physical characteristics he was more able to play in this game than other players might have been.

For his part, Sergio Busquets, who had to be substituted against Athletic at the San Mames after a tough tackle by Aritz Aduriz, has recovered from a problem in his right ankle, and should be able to start.

Another new feature in the squad is the return of French defender Jeremy Mathieu, who was suspended last week.

Gerard Gumbau, from Barca B, has been called up.
