Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Levante

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash with Levante.

Barcelona will be looking to respond from back-to-back defeats when they continue their 2020-21 La Liga campaign at home to Levante on Sunday night.

The Catalan giants suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday night, although Ronald Koeman's side had already advanced to the knockout stages.

Barca are struggling in La Liga, meanwhile, picking up just 14 points from 10 matches to sit ninth in the table, and they suffered a 2-1 loss at Cadiz in Spain's top flight last weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the home side's latest injury and suspension news.
