Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Villarreal: Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres, Jules Kounde, Marc Bernal updates

Fresh from being crowned La Liga champions for the 2024-25 campaign, Barcelona will play their penultimate match of the season against Villarreal on Sunday night.

Barcelona secured the championship with two games to spare courtesy of their 2-0 success over Espanyol on Thursday night.

Hansi Flick's side therefore have two pressure-free contests to end the campaign, although Villarreal are looking to secure a top-five finish in the table, which would bring Champions League football next term.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Villarreal, who will enter the match off the back of four straight victories in Spain's top flight.
