BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona have Gerard Pique back for Sunday's La Liga 'Clasico' at leaders Real Madrid but captain and fellow centre back Carles Puyol has not managed to shake off a knee injury, the Spanish champions said on Saturday.

Pique missed last weekend's 7-0 home win over Osasuna with an ankle problem but is in the squad for the clash at the Bernabeu (2000 GMT), when third-placed Barca will seek to trim Real's four-point advantage and keep alive their bid for a fifth title in six years.
