Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan.

Still on course for an outrageous quadruple, Barcelona host Inter Milan at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday night.

Hansi Flick's men switch focus to continental matters after a breathtaking Copa del Rey final with Real Madrid on Saturday night, one in which they triumphed 3-2 thanks to Jules Kounde's extra-time winner.

Also leading the way in La Liga and boasting a Supercopa de Espana crown from earlier in the season, La Blaugrana are inching ever closer to immortality, but a serious test of their UCL mettle now awaits.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg with Inter, who dumped Bayern Munich out of the competition in the quarter-finals.

Robert Lewandowski

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: May 11 (vs. Real Madrid)

Marc Bernal

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Fledgling midfielder Marc Bernal is on the long road to recovery from a severe ACL injury, one that he is aiming to return for in pre-season or the first few weeks of the 2025-26 campaign.

Marc Casado

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: May 18 (vs. Villarreal)

Marc Casado's own knee injury is not as serious as his fellow midfielder's, and he will likely be back before the season concludes, but Wednesday's game will come far too soon.

Alejandro Balde

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: April 30 (vs. Inter)

First-choice left-back Alejandro Balde sustained a hamstring issue in the league win over Leganes on April 12, although it was only a low-grade injury, and there is a slim chance that the Spaniard will be in the squad this week.
