Barcelona will aim to get off the mark in the Champions League at the second attempt when they do battle with Benfica at the Estadio da Luz in Group E on Wednesday.
The Catalan giants opened their European campaign with a dismal 3-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich two weeks ago - a result which some expected to spell the end of Ronald Koeman's time in the dugout.
However, the Dutchman oversaw a 3-0 success over Levante in Barca's most recent La Liga fixture, but their injury woes continue to mount ahead of this tie.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
