Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Alaves

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's La Liga clash with Alaves.

Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from successive defeats when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Alaves on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants lost 2-1 at home to Real Madrid in El Clasico last weekend before suffering a 1-0 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday evening, which led to Ronald Koeman's dismissal.

The Catalan giants have picked up 15 points from 10 matches to sit ninth in the table, and the team will now be looking to the future as they seek a replacement for the outgoing Koeman.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Alaves, who are currently 16th in Spain's top flight.
