Returns to squad Pique (knock) will travel to Madrid after making the preliminary squad for Saturday's clash with Atleti.

Impact Pique is back in the squad at the first opportunity after coming off injured against Benfica. The big center-back was a major injury scare as he had just recovered from a calf injury, but it appears he is going to play Saturday. Whether he's fully fit or not Pique is a player that would have played no matter what, especially with the international break right after Saturday's match.

Injured against Benfica Pique was forced off in the first half of Wednesday's match against Benfica because of injury.

Impact Pique returned from a calf injury a couple weeks ago and the hope is that this isn't related. He had gone a full 90 in the prior two matches, but this was his third start in the matter of seven days. Overuse is likely the issue for the 34-year-old defender. Gavi replaced him Wednesday, leading to a formation change for Barca.

With any luck, Pique and Eric Garcia will start against the Bavarians while Ronald Araujo and Clement Llenglet will serve as their backups.

Misses out on national team Pique made 18 league starts this season, keeping three clean sheets.

Impact Despite playing in seven of the final eight matches of the season, Pique didn't make the Spanish national team for this summer's Euro tournament. With both him and Sergio Ramos out, it seem pretty clear that manager Luis Enrique didn't want defenders who were older and spent much of the season injured. Heading into another tumultuous summer at Barca, Pique will need to stay healthy and work on improving the defensive stability of his team to be reliable in fantasy.
