Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atletico Madrid

Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League when they resume their La Liga campaign away to the champions Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

Ronald Koeman's side have now lost their opening two Champions League group-stage games to sit bottom of their section.

The Catalan giants were 3-0 winners over Levante in the league last weekend, though, and are unbeaten at the start of their domestic campaign, picking up 12 points from six matches to sit sixth in the table.
