Good news for FC Barcelona

                                          Javier Mascherano returns to Barca squad

The defender has been missing for almost a month with an Achilles problem but is in line to face Sporting Gijon

Javier Mascherano is set to make his Barcelona comeback in Wednesday's LaLiga encounter with Sporting Gijon after a three-week spell on the sidelines due to injury.

The Argentine last featured in the 1-1 Copa del Rey draw with Atletico Madrid on February 7 and has been out of action since then with an Achilles problem.
Mascherano has now been given the green light to return and has been included in Luis Enrique's 18-man squad for the game against Sporting Gijon.
Arda Turan, meanwhile, has also received the medical all-clear after a spell on the sidelines due to injury, but has not made the squad.
