Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their 2020-21 campaign at home to Real Betis on Saturday afternoon.
Ronald Koeman's side have only picked up eight points from their first six league games of the season to sit down in 12th position in the table, nine points off leaders Real Sociedad.
The Catalan giants have been impressive in the Champions League this term, though, winning all three of their group fixtures thus far, including a 2-1 success against Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday night.
Here, Sports Mole runs through Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Betis, who currently occupy seventh position in Spain's top flight.
