Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Rayo Vallecano

Barcelona will be aiming to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they resume their campaign away to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday afternoon.

However, Xavi's side managed to bounce back in La Liga last time out, beating Alaves 2-1 to move onto 30 points from 13 matches, which has left them in third position in the table.
