Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

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

Barcelona will be bidding to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League when they host Napoli for the second leg of their last-16 contest on Tuesday night.
