Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Inter Milan

sportsmole.co.uk, 2 October 2022, 21:42
After edging out Mallorca at the weekend to maintain their unbeaten La Liga record, Barcelona will turn their attention to Tuesday's Champions League game against Inter Milan.

Xavi's side were beaten 2-0 by Bayern Munich in their most recent European outing, and although they occupy second spot in Group C, they are currently level on three points with their midweek opponents.

The Catalan giants began the group stage with a comprehensive 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen, which has helped them secure seven victories in their previous eight games in all competitions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of a crucial European date with Inter, who claimed a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic side on matchday two.

Memphis Depay

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Athletic Bilbao)

Memphis Depay was one of a number of Barcelona players that picked up an injury over the course of the international break.

The Netherlands international was forced off with a hamstring problem in the 2-0 victory over Poland, and as a result, he will miss El Clasico on October 16.

Frenkie De Jong

Status: Major Doubt

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: October 4 (vs. Inter Milan)

Frenkie de Jong also suffered a hamstring injury in the Netherlands' UEFA Nations League meeting with Poland, but he could return in time for the Inter clash.

The midfielder will undergo testing with Barcelona to assess whether he can be included in the travelling party for the midweek away trip.

Ronald Araujo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Ronald Araujo is set to miss the World Cup after he opted to undergo surgery on a thigh injury he sustained while on international duty with Uruguay.

Jules Kounde

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: October 16 (vs. Real Madrid)

Jules Kounde recently took to the training field as he continues his recovery from a hamstring issue that forced him off in France's 2-0 win over Austria.

While he is likely to miss the double-header with Inter and Sunday's league game against Celta Vigo, the defender is aiming to return in time for El Clasico.

Hector Bellerin

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Athletic Bilbao)

Hector Bellerin picked up a calf problem in training last Tuesday, which is set to keep him sidelined for three to four weeks.

BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Barcelona have no suspensions for Tuesday's game against Inter.
