Andres Iniesta makes his return to Barcelona lineup for match against Malaga after missing Levante tie

Andres Iniesta is set to return from illness which forced him to miss the match against Levante last week. Barcelona are due to face Malaga in La liga encounter as the Catalan giants chase Real Madrid at the top of the table. Barcelona are on good run of form after making a somehow poor start to the season. Their start attackers Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi have all been in good touch and if they show the same game, this game could just be another formality.

The eighteen men squad for match against Levante include goalkeeping duo Claudio Bravo and Marco Ter Stegen. With Thomas Vermaelen still out of the scene with injury, Jeremy Mathieu, Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba, Marc Bartra and Adriano take the defensive places. Returning midfielder Iniesta is joined by skipper Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Rafinha Alacantra. The attacking third is led by Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar with Pedro included as well.

Probable XI:

Claudio Bravo

Dani Alves – Gerard Pique – Jeremy Mathieu – Jordi Alba

Ivan Rakitic – Javier Mascherano – Thiago Alacantra

Luis Suare – Lionel Messi – Neymar
