Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash with Napoli.

Barcelona will head to Italy on Wednesday evening for the first leg of their last-16 Champions League clash with Napoli.

The reigning La Liga champions will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, which has left them third in their domestic table, eight points behind leaders Real Madrid.

The Catalan outfit have won three of their last four matches and are unbeaten since Xavi announced at the end of January that he will be standing down as head coach this summer.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Napoli, who are currently down in ninth spot in the Serie A table.
