Carles Puyol and Gabriel Milito have both returned from international duty with injury problems. However, Club doctors confirmed on Thursday that Puyol has escaped any ligament or bone damage to his right ankle though his presence in the game against Betis will depend on his progress during the next couple of days.

Speaking to Barça TV on Thursday morning, Puyol expressed his desire to play at the weekend.
