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