Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Eintracht Frankfurt

Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Barcelona's quest for Europa League glory continues with the first leg of their quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday night.

Xavi's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Napoli in the first leg of their last-16 battle but prevailed 4-2 on the Italians' turf to secure a route into the last eight.

The in-form Blaugrana also strengthened their grip on second spot in the La Liga standings with a 1-0 success over Sevilla at the weekend, with Pedri scoring the only goal of the contest.

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

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Barcelona announced on Wednesday that Memphis Depay would be absent for the first leg due to a thigh injury, and it is currently unclear when the Dutchman might be able to return.


Ansu Fati

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Ansu Fati has been forced to spend another couple of months on the sidelines with a hamstring problem, and while he is now training with the team, Thursday's game will likely come too soon for him.


Sergi Roberto

Status: Out
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: Unknown

Sergi Roberto continues to recover from the thigh surgery he underwent towards the end of last year and is not available for Thursday, but he is not expected to spend too much longer in the treatment room.


Samuel Umtiti

Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unknown

Samuel Umtiti also went under the knife in order to address a foot injury, and while he is also edging closer to a comeback, it will not happen on Thursday.


Sergino Dest

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Sergino Dest left the field in their playoff second-leg tie against Galatasaray with a hamstring problem, and the right-back is seemingly set to remain absent for the first leg, leaving Xavi with a big call to make with Dani Alves ineligible.


Luuk de Jong

Status: Out
Type of injury: COVID-19
Possible return date: April 10 (vs. Levante)

Striker Luuk de Jong tested positive for coronavirus a day before the meeting with parent club Sevilla, and the weekend's clash with Levante is a more realistic comeback date for the Dutchman.


BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Barcelona have no players suspended for the first leg, but Jordi Alba, Eric Garcia, Sergio Busquets, Gavi and Gerard Pique will miss the second leg if they pick up a yellow card on Thursday.
