Barcelona's Neymar recovers from the mumps in time to face Malaga
Gustau Nacarino / Reuters
Barcelona is fully stocked in attack once again thanks to Neymar's return.
The Brazilian has been included in Luis Enrique's first team Saturday for Barcelona's clash with Malaga after doctors deemed him fit earlier in the week after a bout with the mumps.
His inclusion was not fully guaranteed in the days leading up to the match, though Enrique revealed Neymar's recovery process from the disease was faster than most.
It will be the first time since Barcelona's Champions League final victory that the team's lethal triumvirate links up, as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez line up in attack as well.
