sportsmole.co.uk, 26 September 2024, 08:11
Barcelona will be aiming to make it eight successive wins at the start of their 2024-25 La Liga campaign when they head to Osasuna on Saturday night.

Hansi Flick's side have made a 100% start to their domestic season, collecting 21 points from seven matches to sit at the top of the table, four points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

The Catalan giants will enter this match off the back of a 1-0 victory over Getafe, with Robert Lewandowski's seventh league goal of the campaign proving to be the difference between the two teams.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Osasuna, who played out a 0-0 draw with Valencia in their last match.
