Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Eibar

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Eibar on December 29.

Barcelona will round off 2020 with a home La Liga match against Eibar on December 29.

Ronald Koeman's side have largely struggled to impress in the opening months of the 2020-21 campaign but have now won three of their last four in Spain's top flight.

The Catalan giants, who are currently fifth in La Liga, recorded a 3-0 victory away to Real Valladolid on Tuesday night and will be looking to end their year with another three points.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash.
