Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Valencia

Barcelona will look to complete a domestic double when they face Valencia in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants might have fallen short in the Champions League this season, but another brilliant La Liga campaign saw them finish 11 points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid.

Barca will now go in search of their 31st Copa del Rey crown in total and indeed their fifth in a row.

Valencia are seven-time winners of the cup competition, although Los Che have not lifted the trophy since 2008 and will certainly enter the clash as the underdogs.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Barca.
