Puyol in line for return against Gunners

Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is back in training ahead of tomorrow’s Primera Division match at home to Zaragoza and looks set to be fit to face Arsenal in the teams’ Champions League last 16 second leg on Tuesday night.

Puyol has been out since the middle of January with a knee injury and missed the 2-1 defeat at the Emirates earlier this month, but his participation in the second match is all the more important because team-mate Gerard Pique is suspended.
