Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Valencia: Will Dani Olmo be fit for La Liga showdown?

Sports Mole looks at Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Valencia.

Barcelona will be aiming to get their La Liga title challenge back on track when they host Valencia on Sunday night.

The Catalan outfit have only been victorious in one of their last eight matches in Spain's top flight, which has seen them drop down into third spot in the La Liga table, seven points behind the leaders Real Madrid.

Barcelona are through to the knockout round of the Champions League with a match to spare, though, having recorded a 5-4 victory over Benfica in Portugal on Tuesday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Valencia, who are currently down in 19th spot in the table, only picking up 16 points from their 20 matches this term.
