Barcelona will have Robert Lewandowski available for Saturday's La Liga contest with Espanyol at Camp Nou.

The Poland international was due to start a three-match league suspension in the Barcelona derby, with Xavi's side set to be without a player who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season.

However, it was announced on Friday that Barcelona have been able to get a temporary hold on his suspension, so he will be able to feature this weekend.

Jules Kounde and Ousmane Dembele will need to be assessed following their involvement in the World Cup final, but it does appear that both will be cleared to start in this match.

Alejandro Balde could feature at right-back, with Marcos Alonso potentially getting the nod over Jordi Alba on the left side of the defence, which might also include Eric Garcia.

Gavi could be the player to miss out on a spot in central midfield, with Frenkie de Jong potentially starting alongside Sergio Busquets and Pedri in the derby.

Sergi Roberto (shoulder), Ronald Araujo (thigh) and Franck Kessie (muscle) are also all in the squad following recent injury problems.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Balde, Kounde, E Garcia, Alonso; Pedri, Busquets, De Jong; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele
