Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Mallorca

Barcelona can extend their unbeaten run to six matches in all competitions when they welcome Mallorca to Camp Nou on Saturday night.

A late goal from Lionel Messi helped Ernesto Valverde's side secure a 1-0 win away at Atletico Madrid at the weekend that maintained their narrow lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table.

Mallorca, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four games in the league and they currently sit just above the relegation zone in 17th.
