Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Napoli.

Barcelona will be bidding to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they host Napoli for the second leg of their last-16 contest on Tuesday night.

The tie is delicately poised following a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Naples towards the end of last month.

Barcelona will enter this match off the back of a 1-0 victory over Mallorca in La Liga, which moved them into second position in the table, five points behind the leaders Real Madrid.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Napoli, who drew 1-1 with Torino in Serie A on Friday.
