Carles Puyol in line for Barca return?

Barcelona could name Carles Puyol in the squad that travels to Germany for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich.

The 35-year-old has been missing since March with a knee injury that required surgery.

The Blaugrana are struggling for cover at centre-back following the knee ligament injury Javier Mascherano sustained during the 2-2 draw against Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Marca, Puyol could be drafted back into the squad for Tuesday's game after returning to training earlier than expected.
