Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Eibar

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's final La Liga clash of the season against Eibar.

Barcelona conclude their La Liga campaign with a trip to Eibar on Sunday, aiming to make it back-to-back wins ahead of the Copa del Rey final.

The Catalan giants just about got their shock 4-0 loss to Liverpool out of the system with Sunday's 2-0 home win against Getafe, taking them to 86 points for the season.

With back-to-back titles already wrapped up, and the cup final showdown with Valencia pencilled in for May 24, Ernesto Valverde may use this weekend's trip to Eibar as a chance to rotate his side.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Barcelona.
