Barcelona defender Daniel Alves has been cleared to play in Saturday's league match against Getafe after recovering from a leg injury.

The Brazil defender hurt his right leg in training last month and missed last weekend's 1-0 win at Sporting Gijon.

Barcelona holds a five-point lead over Real Madrid in the standings, with Madrid playing Espanyol on Saturday.
