Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Huesca -

sportsmole.co.uk, 11 March 2021, 09:44

Barcelona will be looking to record a fourth straight win in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Huesca on Monday night.

Ronald Koeman 's side are unbeaten in Spain's top flight since the start of December, and an impressive run has seen them rise into second spot in the table, six points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

Barca were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday night, though, as a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their last-16 tie saw them lose 5-2 on aggregate.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barca's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Huesca, who are currently bottom of the table.
