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

Fresh from conceding the La Liga title to Real Madrid, Barcelona will round off their 2019-20 domestic season with a trip to Alaves on Sunday afternoon.

Madrid's 2-1 win over Villarreal on Thursday saw Zinedine Zidane's side secure the title, while Barca suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat to Osasuna on the same night.

Despite the disappointment of finishing second in the table, the Catalan giants will be determined to end their domestic season on a positive note when they head to Alaves on the final weekend.

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