Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Sociedad

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's La Liga fixture with Real Sociedad.

Barcelona head into Sunday's La Liga encounter with Real Sociedad looking to regain top spot in the standings.

As a result of losing 2-0 to Real Madrid in last weekend's El Clasico, the Catalan giants now trail their fierce rivals by two points.

However, with Los Blancos not playing Real Betis until a day later, Quique Setien's team can move into first place with victory at Camp Nou.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their next outing.
