Barcelona injury news: Luis Enrique missing key names ahead of Granada clash

Luis Enrique Barcelona injury news Lionel Messi

Barcelona injury news – Barca boss Luis Enrique is facing a selection issue ahead of this weekend’s clash with Granada.

Enrique will be unable to call upon Lionel Messi due to a suspension. The Argentinian legend picked up a yellow card during Barcelona’s win over Valencia and will miss one game.

The Spanish tactician is facing a headache over finding a replacement. Arda Turan would be a natural option but he suffered an injury last week following Turkey’s victory over Finland and is a doubt for the clash.

The 30-year-old was released from Turkey’s squad by coach Fatih Terim following a groin injury.

Turan also missed several games last month due to a groin injury.

The former Galatasaray star has seven assists and 13 goals to his name after 29 apperances for Barcelona this season.
