Good News: Barcelona Captain and Midfield Wizard to Play El-classico

Barcelona will have captain Andres Iniesta
available for selection in Saturday's game with
Real Madrid.
The 32-year-old midfielder damaged
knee
ligaments in a 2-1 win at Valencia on October 22
but returned to training last week and has been
declared fit to take part in the first Clasico of the
season.
Head coach Luis Enrique told reporters at his
news conference: "He's not just the captain, he's
the centrepiece of what our style is all about.
"He offers a lot on and off the field. It's good
news, not just because of him as a footballer but
what he brings to the team."
