Luis Enrique 'will not commit risks' if Barcelona's golden trio of Neymar, Lionel Messi or Luis Suarez are not fully fit

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has said that he won't put the fitness of his potent attacking force at risk but will manage their workload accordingly.
Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi have collectively scored 94 goals and provided a further 45 assists this season as Barca have shone domestically and in Europe.
Enrique moved to quell the suggestion that the three players were playing too much football - in total they have featured 108 times for their club this season - ahead of their La Liga fixture with Rayo Vallecano on Thursday.

'Resting the three forwards will depend on what I see fit,' he said.
'It is something that I haven't brought up. We will see - to be a coach is to continually take decisions.
'Each player has their own physical profile and we have it under control. Don't worry, because I always do things that benefit the team. We will not commit risks.'

Enrique's side equalled the longest unbeaten run of 34 games by a La Liga team in all competitions with a 2-1 win Sevilla on Sunday.
Three points against Rayo would extend Barca's lead at the top of the table to eight points and put them very much in control.

But the 45-year-old insists he won't change his team unless he has to.
'I like to go through the week thinking that everyone could play and until one hour before the game, they don't know who will play. I like that they have this uncertainty.
'Fatigue is normal and common, similar to last season, and I'm looking forward to the key games that will decide the titles.
'Last year Suarez couldn't play [at the start of the season], so it's normal he has played more minutes.'
Barcelona further cemented their position at the top of La Liga with a 2-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday
