BARCELONA TEAM NEWS: INJURIES, SUSPENSIONS AND LINE-UP VS SEVILLA

Everything you need to know ahead of the teams' meeting at the Sanchez Pizjuan in the Primera Division this weekend.

Barcelona face a tough test to maintain their unbeaten record in La Liga on Saturday as they travel to Sevilla.

The Blaugrana top the table with 75 points from their 29 matches so far and are 11 clear of second-placed Atletico with just nine fixtures remaining.

Barca host Roma at Camp Nou in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday, with Sevilla in action at home to Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Before their European games, however, the two teams meet in the Primera Division and here, Goal takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of Saturday's game...

Barcelona injuries

Nelson Semedo is available again after recovering from a hamstring problem, although it may be too early for the right-back to feature at this stage.

Sergio Busquets is still sidelined for a couple more weeks, while Sergi Samper is out with a long-term problem.

Lucas Digne is injured as well, but both Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique should feature despite niggling knee problems.

Lionel Messi is expected to start on the bench after missing both of Argentina's friendlies – versus Italy and Spain – in the recent international break.

Barcelona suspensions

Luis Suarez missed Barca's 2-0 win over Athletic Club prior to the international break, but the Uruguay striker is back from suspension this weekend.

Barcelona potential starting line-up

Messi is available for the Sevilla match, but looks likely to start on the bench after missing both of Argentina's friendlies with hamstring and adductor problems.

That means Paco Alcacer could start alongside Suarez, who is back from suspension, with Messi kept in reserve until later in the game – particularly with a Champions League clash against Roma to come on Wednesday.

Andres Iniesta is likely to be rested, especially as Philippe Coutinho cannot play in the Champions League for Barca this term, having already done so for Liverpool in 2017-18.

With Busquets still sidelined, Paulinho and Ivan Rakitic are likely to feature in central midfield.
