Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Elche

:Headline: Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Elche:
Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their La Liga clash with Elche.
Sports Mole

Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Elche on Saturday evening.

The Catalan giants were eliminated from the Champions League last week before being held to a 2-2 draw by Osasuna in the league on Sunday afternoon.

Barcelona have only picked up 24 points from their 16 matches this season, which left the club down in eighth position in the table.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the team's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture with Elche, who currently occupy 16th position in Spain's top flight.


Memphis Depay

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

Memphis Depay is set for a spell on the sidelines with the hamstring problem that he picked up during the Champions League defeat to Bayern at Allianz Arena.


Martin Braithwaite

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

Martin Braithwaite continues to recover from knee surgery, and the experienced forward is not expected to be back on the field until the early stages of 2022.


Sergio Aguero

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

Sergio Aguero could allegedly be forced into an early retirement due to his heart problems, with the Argentina international believed to be preparing to make an announcement on his future.


Ansu Fati

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

Ansu Fati picked up a hamstring problem during the clash with Celta Vigo at the start of November, and the Spaniard is not expected to be back on the field until 2022.


Pedri

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

Pedri has suffered a setback in his recovery from a muscular problem, and it has been reported in Spain that the youngster will be absent until at least January.


Sergi Roberto

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

Barcelona revealed last week that Sergi Roberto needs to undergo surgery on a thigh problem, meaning that he will not be available for selection for at least the next four months.


Jordi Alba

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: December 18 (vs. Elche)

Jordi Alba picked up a hamstring problem in the first half of the Champions League defeat to Bayern and missed out against Osasuna, so he remains a major doubt for this contest.
