Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Getafe: Could Andreas Christensen return to the squad?

Sports Mole looks at Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's La Liga clash with Getafe.

Barcelona will be bidding to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they head to Getafe in La Liga on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants won the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia on Sunday night courtesy of a 5-2 success over Real Madrid, before beating Real Betis 5-1 in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.

Hansi Flick's side have lost their last two in Spain's top flight against Leganes and Atletico Madrid, though, and they currently sit third in the La Liga table, six points behind leaders Atletico on the same number of matches (19).

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Getafe, who were also in Copa del Rey action on Wednesday, securing their spot in the quarter-finals with a 1-0 success over Pontevedra.
