Xavi has two key defenders back for Thursday's league game

Ronald Araujo and Gerard Pique return to the Barcelona squad for Thursday's LaLiga game against Real Sociedad at Anoeta.

Araujo missed the 1-0 win over Cadiz through suspension, while Pique has sat out Barça's last three matches with some discomfort.

However, both will be available this week as Xavi Hernandez's side look to bounce back from successive defeats to Eintracht Frankfurt and Cadiz.

Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati and Samuel Umtiti are all back in training but must wait for their chance to return to competitive football.

Pedri, meanwhile, remains sidelined and is is not likely to play again this season.

Barça squad: Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, Araujo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Alves, Memphis, Adama, Braithwaite, Neto, Nico, Lenglet, Luuk de Jong, Jordi Alba, Ferran, Frenkie de Jong, Mingueza, Eric, Aubameyang, Carevic and Gavi.
