Barcelona will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they host Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.

The Catalan outfit will enter the match off the back of a shock 1-0 home defeat to Leganes, which made it just one victory from their last six league matches, suffering three defeats during that run.

Barcelona remain top of the La Liga table despite their recent wobble, but they are now level on points with second-placed Atletico, who have a game in hand on Hansi Flick's side.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Atletico, who have been victorious in each of their last 11 matches in all competitions.


Andreas Christensen

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Achilles
Possible return date: December 21 (vs. Atletico)

Christensen has been missing since the first gameweek of the campaign with an Achilles problem, but the Denmark international is now back in training and could return to the squad on Saturday.


Marc Bernal

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

Bernal suffered an ACL injury against Rayo Vallecano in the league earlier this term, and he is out for the season, with the youngster working to be ready for pre-season ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.


Marc-Andre ter Stegen

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

Barcelona will be missing their number one goalkeeper Ter Stegen for the remainder of the season due to the serious knee injury that he suffered in the clash with Villarreal on September 22.


Ansu Fati

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: December 21 (vs. Atletico)

Fati has been sidelined since last month with a thigh problem, but the Spaniard is now back in first-team training and has a chance of being included in the squad against Atletico.


Lamine Yamal

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: January 8 (vs. Athletic Bilbao)

Yamal is a major absentee for Barcelona this weekend, with the 17-year-old picking up an ankle problem against Leganes last time out, and he is not expected to be back on the field until at least January 8.
