Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Mallorca

Barcelona will be looking to climb into second place in the La Liga table when they welcome Mallorca to Camp Nou on Friday night.

The Catalan giants have put together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, although they were forced to play out a goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao last weekend.

Xavi's side, who currently sit third in the top-flight table and just one point behind second-placed Girona, will be seeking revenge against Mallorca after they were held to a 2-2 draw by the Pirates in September.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Javier Aguirre's men, who beat Girona 1-0 last weekend.
