Barcelona forward and league top scorer Lionel Messi should be available for the leaders' game at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday despite the birth of his first child, coach Tito Vilanova said on Friday.
"In principle he'll be available for the match," Vilanova, who had a stint at Celta as a player, told a news conference. "It won't change anything that he hasn't trained for one day, it's not significant."
"He has been training more intensely for some days now and it's a matter of a few days before he returns to work with us," Vilanova said.
"It's important to get players back [from injury], above all in that position, where Carles Puyol is also missing," he added. Puyol has not played since dislocating an elbow in last month's Champions League win at Benfica.
"In terms of media coverage it was my best night but on a personal level I have had better games," Varas, who saved a Messi penalty in added time, told Barca TV.
The Spain international was injured on duty with the world and European champions last month and joined fellow full-backs Marcelo of Brazil and Portugal's Fabio Coentrao, who are both still out of action, on the sidelines.
"I would like to have Khedira and Xabi, obviously, but there is no problem as we have the squad to cope with these things," Mourinho said.
"We don't have Xabi and Khedira but we have other players we will use and we are confident we can get the points which are so important," added the Portuguese.
Zaragoza, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, have won their last two matches and climbed to ninth and are hoping for a repeat of their surprise 3-2 win at Real's Bernabeu stadium in April 2011.
"The Bernabeu is always intimidating but we are not going to write off any matches," coach Manuel Jimenez told a news conference on Friday. "We are going there with the intention of getting at least a point."
