Boost for Barcelona and Real with Pique and Benzema set to return for El Clasico

Barcelona and Real Madrid have both been handed boosts ahead of Sunday's El Clasico with the news Gerard Pique and Karim Benzema should be available for selection.
Defender Pique missed Barca's 7-0 win over Osasuna as a precaution to rest his right ankle but returned to training on Monday.
However, Carles Puyol, who is set to leave the Nou Camp at the end of the season, will miss what would have been his final clash against Real with a knee injury.
