05/11/2010 - Barcelona, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barcelona's attempt to retain its La Liga crown have been handed a boost after Andres Iniesta returned to training.

It is anticipated that Spain international Iniesta will replace Xavi Hernandez who is suspended for this weekend's match.

Barca have won 17 and drawn one of its 18 league games at the Camp Nou this term and lead second-place Real Madrid by one point going into Sunday's final round of fixtures.
