Barcelona duo Pedri and Robert Lewandowski set to be fit for upcoming El Clasico clash against Real Madrid

• Pedri, Lewandowski set to be available for El Clasico
• De Jong and Kounde ruled out
• Raphinha might recover in time

WHAT HAPPENED? Pedri suffered a thigh injury in late August during training while Robert Lewandowski injured his left ankle during the club's Champions League clash against FC Porto earlier this month. The Athletic claims that the veteran striker is set to recover soon as it is not a muscle injury while Pedri is nearing a return after missing the last 10 matches for the Catalan giants.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: While the two stars' return before the all-important El Clasico on October 28 is welcoming news for Xavi's side, midfielder Frenkie de Jong and defender Jules Kounde are ruled out of action. Raphinha is also on his way to recovery and might make the matchday squad for the clash against Los Blancos.
