Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Elche

Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Elche.

Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Elche on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Elche, who currently occupy 16th position in Spain's top flight.
