Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Benfica: Catalan giants hit with fresh fitness blow

Barcelona will be aiming to record their sixth Champions League success of the campaign when they travel to Benfica on Tuesday night.

The Catalan outfit have been impressive in the competition this season, winning five and losing one of their six matches to collect 15 points, which has left them in second spot in the Champions League table.

Hansi Flick's side will enter this clash off the back of a disappointing result, though, having drawn 1-1 with Getafe in La Liga on Saturday.
