Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Betis

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Real Betis.

Barcelona will be aiming to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they head to Real Betis on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Real Betis, who sit in seventh position in the La Liga table.
