Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

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

Barcelona will be bidding to bounce back from Wednesday's disappointing result in the Champions League when they take on Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday.

The Catalan outfit drew 3-3 with Inter Milan in Europe during the week, which has left them third in Group C, three points behind second-placed Inter with two games left.

Barcelona have won each of their last seven La Liga matches, though, including a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo last time out, which has seen them move above Real Madrid to the top of the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Real Madrid, who also have 22 points from their eight league games this term.
