Barcelona will be aiming to make it eight straight wins in all competitions when they host Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday night.

Hansi Flick's side booked their spot in the final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night courtesy of a 1-0 success over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their last-four clash.

The Catalan giants are currently top of the La Liga table, three points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, and they have been victorious in each of their last nine league fixtures during a stunning run.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Real Betis, who have triumphed in their last six league games.

Lamine Yamal

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: April 5 (vs. Real Betis)

Teenage superstar Yamal will need to be assessed ahead of this match due to the nasty cut that he suffered on his ankle during the second half of the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Atletico.

Andreas Christensen

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Christensen, who has only played once this season due to injury problems, has recently been on the sidelines with a calf issue, and it is currently unclear when he will be an option for head coach Flick.

Marc Bernal

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Bernal suffered an ACL injury against Rayo Vallecano in the league earlier this term, and he is out for the season, with the youngster working to be ready for pre-season ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Barcelona remain without their number one goalkeeper Ter Stegen due to the serious knee injury that he suffered in the clash with Villarreal on September 22. However, the German is now back on the training field and making excellent progress in his recovery.

Marc Casado

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Midfielder Casado picked up a knee injury during the La Liga clash with Atletico before the March international break, and it is likely that he will now be absent for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

Dani Olmo

Status: Out

Type of injury: Adductor

Possible return date: April 19 (vs. Celta Vigo)

Olmo suffered an adductor injury shortly after scoring against Osasuna in La Liga last week, and the Spaniard will now be on the sidelines until at least the clash with Celta Vigo on April 19.

There are also now fresh registration issues surrounding the attacker, so there is a chance that he may not be able to play for Barcelona in the latter stages of the La Liga campaign.

BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST

Barcelona have no players suspended for the clash with Real Betis.
