Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Almeria

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Almeria.

Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome basement side Almeria to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday night.

The Catalan giants have only picked up one point from their last two league matches, which has left them in third position in the table, six points behind leaders Girona, who have a game in hand.

The reigning champions were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia on Saturday, with the stalemate following back-to-back defeats to Girona and Royal Antwerp in La Liga and the Champions League respectively.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Almeria in Spain's top flight.
