Barcelona would book their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League with a game to spare if they overcome Porto on Tuesday night.
The Catalan giants are currently top of Group H, level on nine points with second-placed Porto, while Shakhtar Donetsk are third in the section on six points.
Xavi's side need to win on Tuesday to be certain of advancing at this stage, but they will enter the match off the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano in Spain's top flight, which has left them in third position in the table on 31 points.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Porto, who have won their last three matches in all competitions.
