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

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

Barcelona gear up for a top-of-the-table clash in La Liga as they prepare to welcome league leaders Atletico Madrid to Camp Nou on Saturday afternoon.

Ronald Koeman's side once again had Lionel Messi to thank for their thrilling 3-2 victory over Valencia on Sunday evening, as the Argentine struck either side of an Antoine Griezmann finish to secure a narrow win.

The third-placed Blaugrana have now narrowed the gap to Atletico at the top to just two points, while second-placed Real Madrid are only ahead of Koeman's side on head-to-head points.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
