Sports Mole takes stock of all the injury news and Barcelona’s suspension ahead of their La Liga clash with Mallorca.
Barcelona will look to get back on their way to La Liga victory when they resume their national campaign away from Mallorca January 2.
The Catalan giants have entered the winter break after a 1-1 draw with Sevilla, who are currently Real Madrid’s closest challenger in the Spanish top flight.
Indeed, Barcelona have collected just 28 points from their 18 appearances this season, which has left the club in seventh position in the table.
Right here, Sporty Taupe gathers all the latest team news on injuries and suspensions ahead of the game against Mallorca, which is currently 15th in the table.
