Barcelona will attempt to maintain their perfect start to Hansi Flick's tenure when they face fellow Catalan side Girona in Sunday's La Liga contest.
The Blaugrana began their campaign with three consecutive 2-1 victories over Valencia, Athletic Club and Rayo Vallecano.
Flick's side then made a real statement in their most recent outing as they produced a free-scoring display to record a dominant 4-0 win over Real Valladolid to establish a four-point gap at the top of the table.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's meeting with Girona, who have claimed back-to-back wins over Osasuna and Sevilla.
