Barcelona will be able to call on the services of four first-team stars after they recovered from their respective injuries and bans.

Gerard Pique and Rafael Marquez are both available again after suspension, while Dmytro Chygrynskiy and Yaya Toure have returned to fitness ahead of their Primera Division clash at home to Racing Santander on Saturday.

Midfielders Xavi and Seydou Keita will miss out as they look to get back to winning ways following their 2-1 defeat at Atletico Madrid last weekend which saw their lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table cut to just two points.

The Catalans' injury woes have worsened in recent times and, despite the foursome returning, he still has concerns.

He said: "If so many players are injured, something is wrong - there are several causes, although we don't know exactly what's wrong."
