Medical: Green light for Puyol

Barcelona player Carles Puyol (30) has received earlier today the green light from Barcelona's medical staff and will be available for the league match against Sporting Gijón tomorrow.

Puyol has recovered from a small muscle tear of the quadriceps at the front of his left thigh, although he didn't train with the group today and did some individual exercises instead.

The Catalan defender suffered the injury during last week's cup game against Espanyol on Thursday 29 January and was then expected to be out for around ten days (read more

it would be better if puyol is not used in this match in order to have an excuse for not using him in the wednesday friendly match

I agree. And it would be a disaster to rush his recovery! I'd say they should slow it down a bit so he is fully fit, but if he is already fully fit then i think Pep will use him tomorrow.
