Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Dynamo Kiev

Barcelona will seek to record their first win and first goals of the 2021-22 Champions League campaign when they play host to Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday evening.

Ronald Koeman's side have suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Bayern Munich and Benfica so far, which has left them rock bottom of the rankings in Group E.

However, the Catalan giants put three goals past Valencia in their weekend La Liga clash, with Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho netting in a 3-1 success.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash.
