(Updates Real and Barca team news)

MADRID, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Brief news from the Primera Liga ahead of this weekend's matches:

* Sevilla have warned Barcelona and returning player Daniel Alves to expect their sternest test yet when the Primera Liga leaders visit the Sanchez Pizjuan on Saturday (2100 GMT).

"The statistics show Barca have had their best start to a championship in their history. But we will be the toughest bone they've had to chew since the start of the competition," Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido told the club's radio station.

"We will give Dani a standing ovation when he salutes us from the pitch tomorrow. We were lucky to enjoy many years with him and with his help won five trophies and competed in six finals."

* Fifth-placed Sevilla will be without suspended winger Jesus Navas. Barca have captain Carles Puyol, midfielder Yaya Toure and striker Samuel Eto'o back after being rested against Sporting Lisbon during the week. Striker Bojan Krkic has recovered from an Achilles problem.

* Champions Real Madrid travel to face neighbours Getafe on Saturday (1900 GMT) with seven players missing through injury.

Strikers Gonzalo Higuain and Ruud van Nistelrooy, midfielders Arjen Robben, Mahamadou Diarra and Ruben de la Red and defenders Gabriel Heinze and Fabio Cannavaro failed to make the squad. Getafe will be without injured Mario Cotelo and Joffre Guerron.

* Villarreal's Turkey striker Nihat Kahveci was wary of rushing back into action too soon after five months out with a thigh tendon injury, ahead of the trip to face Recreativo Huelva on Sunday (1600 GMT).
