Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Valencia

Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from successive defeats when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Valencia on Sunday night.

The Catalan giants have picked up 12 points from seven matches to sit ninth in the table, and the pressure would again be piled on head coach Koeman if the team are unable to pick up a positive result on their return to action here.
