Jeremy Mathieu has been given the medical green light to return to action by the FC Barcelona doctors after a lengthy spell out on the sidelines.

The Frenchman suffered an injury to the meniscus in his right knee while international duty towards the end of March and was operated on in the same month.

Thirty seven days after surgery, Mathieu is back at the disposal of Luis Enrique for the season run-in, and has already trained with the group a couple of times this week.
