Team News: Barcelona welcome back attacking trio for Celta Vigo visit

Luis Enrique names Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar in his Barcelona starting lineup for the visit of Celta Vigo to Camp Nou.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar have all returned to Barcelona's starting lineup for this evening's La Liga meeting with Celta Vigo.

The attacking trio were rested for the midweek draw with Valencia in the Copa del Rey, in what was essentially a dead rubber following the first-leg thrashing of Gary Neville's side.

Barca boss Luis Enrique has not sprung any surprises by naming each of his star men in his starting lineup for the Camp Nou showdown, while Sergi Roberto is preferred to Ivan Rakitic in the middle of the park.

In terms of the visitors, they are without the suspended Sergi Gomez, Iago Aspas, Fabian Orellana and Theo Bongonda as they look to pull off a shock result in the 100th league meeting between these two teams.

Nolito, linked with a move to the Catalan club in January, is also missing for Celta due to an injury problem.

Barcelona head into the game sitting level on points with Atletico Madrid, although they still boast two games in hand over their title rivals.

Barcelona XI: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Roberto, Iniesta, Busquets; Neymar, Suarez, Messi

Celta Vigo XI: Sergio; Jonny, Mallo, Cabral, Planas; Radoja, Hernandez; Wass, Beauvue, Sene; Guidetti
