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

Barcelona will be looking to make it back-to-back victories in La Liga when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to Camp Nou on Sunday night.

Xavi's side were top of the table entering the clash with Real Madrid last weekend, but a 3-1 defeat at Bernabeu saw them drop into second position.
