Barcelona boss Xavi has revealed that both Memphis Depay and Clement Lenglet should be available for Sunday's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Memphis has only played once in La Liga since the start of December, having struggled with a hamstring problem and Achilles tendon issue in recent weeks.

Lenglet, meanwhile, has recently been unavailable for selection due to a hamstring injury, with his last appearance in Spain's top flight coming against Alaves on January 23.

Both players are now "100% fit", though, with Xavi expecting to have the pair available for selection against Athletic at Camp Nou on Sunday evening.

"They both trained with the group, and are 100% fit. If there are no changes, they will be ready for the game," Xavi told reporters during his pre-match press conference.

"Depay will be an important player for us, like Lenglet. It is important for them to come back in order to complete in the team, they are vital for us."

Memphis, who continues to be linked with a move away from Barcelona, has scored eight goals and registered two assists in 23 appearances at club level during the 2021-22 campaign.
