Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Granada

Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's La Liga fixture with Granada.

Barcelona play host to Granada on Thursday evening with the opportunity to move to the top of the La Liga standings.

With Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid failing to win at the weekend, the Catalan giants took full advantage with a hard-fought triumph away at Villarreal.

Barca also have a game in hand and a superior goal difference, giving Ronald Koeman's team the chance to seize control of the title race ahead of facing Atletico early next month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter at Camp Nou.

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Fati is still recovering from the serious knee injury that he sustained in November, and it remains unclear when the highly-rated youngster will be available for selection once again.


Philippe Coutinho

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Coutinho is yet to feature in 2021 due to the knee injury that he suffered against Eibar in December. The Brazilian's future at Camp Nou, meanwhile, continues to be called into question.


Martin Braithwaite
