Herny: Available
Barcelona have been handed a major boost via the news that Thierry Henry will be available for the clash with arch-rivals Real Madrid.
The France international has been sidelined for almost four weeks with a back problem, but has now returned to training ahead of 'El Clasico'.
"The therapy done to improve his discopathy has achieved the desired results," read a statement on the club's official website.
"[Henry has] received the green light from doctors and could be one of the big new names on the list [for the game against Real]."
The forward's return to action is a timely one for Frank Rijkaard - who lost Lionel Messi to a thigh strain last Saturday.
