Neymar has recovered from an ankle injury and is available for Saturday's visit by Cordoba, Barcelona announced on Friday.

The 22-year-old Brazilian striker had to sit out last weekend's trip to Getafe, and his presence was missed as Barca were held to a goalless draw.

Neymar, who has scored 11 league goals this season and three in the Champions League, "trained normally" on Friday, the club announced.

Success against strugglers Cordoba would lift Barca to within a point of leaders Real Madrid, who are on Club World Cup duty in Morocco.
