Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Galatasaray

Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Europa League last-16 first leg with Galatasaray.

Barcelona will aim to put one foot into the quarter-finals of the Europa League when Galatasaray pay a visit to Camp Nou for the first leg of their last-16 battle on Thursday night.

Xavi's side saw off Napoli 5-3 on aggregate in the playoff rounds to make it this far and keep their hopes of European silverware and a return to the Champions League alive.

La Blaugrana warmed up for this contest with a 2-1 La Liga success against 10-man Elche, as Ferran Torres and Memphis Depay cancelled out Fidel Chaves's opener.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg.
