FC Barcelona captain Carles Puyol given all-clear to play on good Friday against Villareal at Camp Nou by the "Comité Español de Disciplina Deportiva" (CEDD). The CEDD has postponed any decision on the possible penalty to be incurred on Barca defender Carles Puyol for receiving a yellow-red card in last week´s match against Racing Santander, meaning he will be able to play for Barcelona against Villarreal.

The Comité Español de Disciplina Deportiva (CEDD) has announced on Thursday that it considers that "all the necessary requisites exist" to concede the precautionary suspension of the one match ban on Carles Puyol, after the FC Barcelona player was shown two yellow cards in the match against Racing Santander last Sunday.


FC Barcelona skipper Puyol has been included, as the CEDD has yet to announce a decision CEDD regarding his suspension. Barca coach Frank Rijkaard will be able to field his captain this Friday, meaning Rodri's name has been left out of the Barca squad list.
