Barcelona injury, suspension news vs. Bayern: Garcia adds to defensive woes

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

Barcelona will welcome Bayern Munich to the Olympic Stadium in the Champions League in a heavyweight encounter on Wednesday night.

Former Bayern boss Hansi Flick has had an excellent start to life as the Barca manager, sitting top of La Liga with nine wins from 10 following a 5-1 win over Sevilla at the weekend.

Barca also got their Champions League campaign up and running on matchday two, thrashing Young Boys 5-0 on home soil.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the matchday three clash with Bayern.
