Lionel Messi and Neymar will have to wait to make their first appearance of 2015 after Luis Enrique left both the South American stars on the bench for Barcelona's visit to Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Both players only arrived back from their Christmas vacation on Friday after they and Dani Alves, who also starts on the bench, were given extra time off by the club.

Munir El Haddadi and the in-form Pedro Rodriguez will accompany Luis Suarez in attack against David Moyes's men.
