Barcelona star Luis Suarez and forgotten playmaker Arda Turan should be ready to face Leganes on Saturday (18 November) after having completed the last two training sessions with the rest of their available teammates.
Suarez, 30, has been playing with a niggle in his knee since suffering an injury earlier in the season during the Catalans' 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup on 16 August.
Last week the Uruguay international trained on his own at the Barcelona training ground in a bid to put those woes behind after his national team omitted him from the friendlies against Poland (10 November) and Austria (14 November).
There had been suggestions that he may even require surgery to remove a cyst should the discomfort fail to disappear.
But the former Liverpool striker ruled out undergoing an operation last week after claiming that the rest during international break would be enough for him to be fully fit to feature when the Catalans resume their season at Leganes.
Suarez looks set to start against the Madrid-based side with Barcelona confirming that he has been able train with the rest of his teammates both on Monday evening (13 November) and on Tuesday morning (14 November).
Meanwhile, Turan has been on the sidelines since suffering an ankle injury during the preparations for the Copa del Rey trip to Murcia on 24 October.
The Turky international has missed the following three games against Athletic Club, Olympiakos and Sevilla but could also be available to face Leganes if called upon by Valverde.
