Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Osasuna

Barcelona are back in action on Thursday evening when they square off against Osasuna in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals.

The Catalan giants have endured a mixed campaign thus far, as they currently sit seven points adrift of top spot in La Liga but have qualified for the Champions League last 16.

This competition offers Xavi's side a chance of silverware, yet improvements will be expected after only recording a 3-2 victory over minnows Barbastro in the Copa del Rey on Sunday.
