Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Mallorca

The Catalan giants have put together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, although they were forced to play out a goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao last weekend.

Xavi's side, who currently sit third in the top-flight table and just one point behind second-placed Girona, will be seeking revenge against Mallorca after they were held to a 2-2 draw by the Pirates in September.
