Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Rayo Vallecano

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

Barcelona will be aiming to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they resume their campaign away to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday afternoon.

The Catalan giants missed the chance to qualify for the last-16 stage of the Champions League with two games to spare on November 7, as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk.

However, Xavi's side managed to bounce back in La Liga last time out, beating Alaves 2-1 to move onto 30 points from 13 matches, which has left them in third position in the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Rayo, who sit 10th in Spain's top flight.


Frenkie de Jong
