Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Galatasaray

Barcelona will aim to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League when they make the long journey to Turkey to take on Galatasaray in the second leg of their last-16 tie on Thursday.

Blaugrana boss Xavi made sweeping changes for the first leg, and the alterations did not pay off as Barca were held to a 0-0 draw by the Super Lig giants at Camp Nou.

The Catalan giants head into this game having put four unanswered goals past Osasuna in La Liga, with Ferran Torres (2), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Riqui Puig on target.

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

Gerard Pique was brought off after 62 minutes against Osasuna - his 600th game for Barcelona - and was pictured with an ice pack on his groin area on the bench, so he has now emerged as a doubt for the second leg.

Barcelona have no players suspended for the second leg, with Gavi back from a ban served in the first leg and Nico Gonzalez returning from a domestic suspension.
