Lionel Messi and Neymar are set to start together for the first time this season as Barcelona look to maintain a winning La Liga start at home to Athletic Bilbao.
Brazil's Neymar has been struggling with an ankle problem while Messi missed Argentina's win over Germany due to a groin strain.
"Messi is ready, he has trained with the group," said boss Luis Enrique.
"Neymar is a special player. He is in the right condition to play."
Enrique added: "He (Neymar) has already been subjected to incredible pressure in his country and in his club career and I hope that from that base he can become one of the best players in the world."
Barca are the only team in the Spanish top flight to have won their opening two games as they seek to improve on last season's second-placed finish to Atletico Madrid.
