Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Granada

Barcelona injury, suspension list vs. Granada

Barcelona will be looking to make it back-to-back La Liga wins when they travel to Granada on Saturday night.

The Spanish champions beat Valencia 5-2 on home soil last weekend, but an average start to the campaign has left the team in fifth position heading into week five in Spain's top flight.

Ernesto Valverde's side will enter the match off the back of a goalless draw with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the meeting with El Grana.


Jordi Alba

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

Barca will be without the services of Jordi Alba after the left-back picked up a hamstring problem during Tuesday's clash with Dortmund. The Spanish champions are yet to set a time frame for his return.


Ousmane Dembele

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: September 28 (vs. Getafe)

Ousmane Dembele has been on the sidelines since picking up a hamstring problem on the opening night of the new La Liga season against Athletic Bilbao. The Frenchman has been pencilled in to return before the end of the month, although this game will come too soon.


Samuel Umtiti

Status: Out Type of injury: Foot Possible return date: October 29 (vs. Real Valladolid)

Umtiti will spend the next five weeks on the sidelines with a foot injury. The 25-year-old, who is yet to represent Barca this season, picked up the issue while training with France during the recent international break.


BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Barcelona have no players suspended for the clash with Granada this weekend.
