Mathieu braces for Sunday's Espanyol clash

Barcelo, May 7 : Barcelo's French defender Jeremy Mathieu received a medical discharge on Saturday to prepare for Sunday's La Liga game against Espanyol in the penultimate round of the football league.
The Frenchman suffered a right knee injury in late March during his tiol team's friendly against Russia.
"Mathieu is back at the disposal of Luis Enrique for the season run-in, and has already trained with the group a couple of times this week," the Catalan club announced on its official website. After receiving the medical green light, Mathieu can appear in the remaining three games for Barcelo this season -- La Liga ties against Espanyol at home and Grada and the Copa del Rey fil against Sevilla.
