In the camp - good news. Captain of the Catalan team Carles Puyol got permission from the medical staff to play with full force on the eve of the match with Madrid's "Real" and got into the preliminary squad. The stunning news denied the previously announced information in the media that the defender will not be able to play not only in the "Liga BBVA" matches on Saturday, but also in the upcoming match for the King's Cup. Only Eric Abidal, Bojan Krkic, and Javier Mascherano will miss the "El Clasico" battle at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium. As it is known, this season has ended for Abidal due to a liver tumor removal operation, Krkic suffered an injury in the match with "Almeria", and Mascherano received his fifth yellow card in the same match and is suspended. 20 "Barcelona" footballers traveled to the Spanish capital, so before the match it will become clear which two players will not make it into the official squad. Invited for the match against "Real": Goalkeepers: Victor Valdes, Jose Manuel Pinto; Defenders: Carles Puyol, Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Maxwell, Adriano Correia, Gabriel Milito, Andreu Fontas; Midfielders: Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Seydou Keita, Ibrahim Afellay, Thiago Alcantara, Jonathan dos Santos; Forwards: Lionel Messi, David Villa, Pedro Rodriguez, Jeffren Suarez.
