The centre-back was taken to hospital after an unfortunate collision with Victor Valdes in his side's 2-2 Champions League semi-final draw against Chelsea on April 24, but was discharged the next morning after follow-up medical tests proved satisfactory.
Pique missed the league games against Rayo Vallecano, Malaga and Espanyol due to the knock, but Barca have now announced on their official website that the Spain international has received medical clearance and is set to make his comeback for the final league game of the season.
This will come as a relief for Guardiola, who will be without Carles Puyol as the veteran defender is scheduled to undergo knee surgery this weekend.
The 25-year-old Pique is expected to return to the match squad for Saturday's clash with Betis, which will kick off at 22.00CET. The Blaugrana will then face Athletic Bilbao on May 25 in the Copa del Rey final.
