Jeremy Mathieu is ready to make his Barcelona comeback after five weeks out of action with a knee injury.

Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu has been given the all-clear after a spell on the sidelines with a meniscus injury.

The 32-year-old suffered the knee injury in France's 4-2 friendly win over Russia on March 29.

Mathieu is now ready to make his comeback as Barcelona chases the domestic double, with La Liga games against Espanyol and Granada to come before the Copa del Rey final versus Sevilla.

"Jeremy Mathieu has been given the medical green light to return to action by the Barcelona doctors after a lengthy spell out on the sidelines," a statement on the club's official website reads.
