Barcelona v Sporting Gijón: Preview

Javier Mascherano and Arda Turan could return from injury in time for Barcelona's LaLiga clash with Sporting Gijon on Wednesday.

The duo returned to training having both been sidelined since Barcelona's Copa Del Rey clash with Atletico Madrid on February 7.

Mascherano has overcome a hamstring problem while Turan has recovered from his groin issue.

Boss Luis Enrique told Barcelona's official website on Tuesday: ``Mascherano and Arda have trained with the rest of the squad today and tomorrow the medical staff will confirm if they are available or not.''

Lifelong Sporting fan Enrique started his decorated playing career at his hometown club, but insisted there will be no split loyalties at the Nou Camp.
