Barcelona full-back Adriano medically cleared, available for Real Sociedad match

Adriano is back.

The Barcelona backup full-back received the medical green light and is fully cleared to return to the pitch whenever coach Luis Enrique deems necessary. The Brazilian missed the last two matches against Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid, but is available to selection for the final stretch of the season.

Adriano was one of the three Blaugrana backup defenders injured last week, alongside Jérémy Mathieu and Aleix Vidal. The Frenchman is set for more than a month on the sidelines, while Vidal is still a week away from his return.
