Andrés Iniesta receives medical green light for El Clásico

FC Barcelona have received a welcome boost ahead of El Clásico with the news that club captain Andrés Iniesta has received the all clear from the medical staff.

The influential midfielder has been out for over 40 days since picking up an injury at Mestalla but is not back at the disposal of Luis Enrique for the match against Real Madrid.
