Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Granada

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Granada on January 9.

Barcelona will be looking to make it three straight La Liga victories when they continue their 2020-21 campaign away to Granada on Saturday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the away side's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Granada, who are currently seventh in the division.
