Barcelona will be looking to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Osasuna on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants have been victorious in their last two in Spain's top flight to rise into second position in the table, five points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

Ronald Koeman 's side also booked their spot in the final of the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday night courtesy of a 3-0 win over Sevilla in the second leg of their last-four contest at Camp Nou.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barca's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Osasuna, who are currently 12th in the table.
