Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Betis

Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Real Betis.

Barcelona will be looking to make it three straight La Liga victories under new head coach Xavi when they welcome Real Betis to Camp Nou on December 4.

The Catalan giants recorded a 3-1 victory over Villarreal in the league on Saturday, which has moved them into seventh position in the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Real Betis, who have been in impressive form this season.
