Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Elche.

Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Elche on Saturday evening.

The Catalan giants were eliminated from the Champions League last week before being held to a 2-2 draw by Osasuna in the league on Sunday afternoon.

Barcelona have only picked up 24 points from their 16 matches this season, which left the club down in eighth position in the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Elche, who currently occupy 16th position in Spain's top flight.
