BARCELONA, Spain (AP) Barcelona says midfielder Cesc Fabregas and defender Gerard Pique have recovered from injuries and will be available for Saturday's game against Granada.
While the pair of Spain internationals return, midfielder Xavi Hernandez will not be included in the squad after failing to recover from a muscle strain to his left leg.
The club also says winger Cristian Tello will miss two more games because of ligament damage in his right ankle.
Barcelona is already without forward Lionel Mess, goalkeeper Victor Valdes, defender Jordi Alba and defender Dani Alves.
Barcelona holds a three-point lead over Atletico Madrid after 12 rounds, with Real Madrid trailing the defending champions by six points.
