Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Celta Vigo

Barcelona will be looking to build on their impressive opening-game victory under Ronald Koeman when they take on Celta Vigo at Balaidos on Thursday evening.

The Catalan giants brushed aside Villarreal 4-0 on Sunday to make a positive start to life under Koeman, who was brought in as Quique Setien's successor during the summer.

Teenage forward Ansu Fati scored twice and won a penalty that was converted by Lionel Messi, while Pau Torres put into his own net in the one-sided affair.

Barca will be without the services of Martin Braithwaite in the early stages of the season as the forward picked up a quadriceps injury in a training match after last week's 1-0 win over Elche in the Joan Gamper Trophy.

Koeman is expected to be without the services of first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the next two months due to a knee injury. As a result, Neto will continue to deputise between the sticks.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: October 1 (vs. Celta Vigo)

Samuel Umtiti has not made a first-team outing since the end of June due to knee issues. The centre-back is unlikely to be considered for selection for Thursday's clash with Celta, either.

Barcelona have no players suspended for this first away outing of the campaign.
