Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Levante

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash with Levante.

Barcelona will be looking to win in La Liga for the first time since the end of August when they continue their campaign at home to Levante on Sunday.

Ronald Koeman's side have drawn their last two league games against Granada and Cadiz, which left them down in seventh position in the table.

The Catalan giants are already seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid, although they have a game in hand on Carlo Ancelotti's side, who have started the new campaign in impressive fashion.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
