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

Ronald Koeman will endeavour to give Barcelona fans something to cheer about when they welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou for El Clasico this weekend.

La Blaugrana enter the derby on the back of a narrow 1-0 success over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, during which Gerard Pique scored the game's only goal.

The hosts also picked up a much-needed 3-1 win over Valencia during their most recent La Liga battle, and they sit seventh in the table ahead of the visit of Los Blancos on Sunday.

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

Eric Garcia returns from a ban served in the Champions League, meaning that Barcelona have no suspension concerns for El Clasico.
