Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Atletico Madrid

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their 2020-21 campaign away to Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

Ronald Koeman's side thumped Real Betis 5-2 before the international break to leave themselves in eighth spot in the table, having picked up 11 points from their seven La Liga games this term.

Atletico are flying high in third, though, and remain the only unbeaten side in Spain's top flight this season, which is an indication of the size of the task facing the Catalan giants this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Diego Simeone's side at Wanda Metropolitano.
