Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Barcelona, 2016 UEFA Champions League: List of injuries, suspensions

The Borussia-Park will be full on Wednesday night for a big UEFA Champions League encounter between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Barcelona, but some important players for both teams will not be available to play in Germany.

The biggest absence is obviously Lionel Messi, who will not return to action until after the international break with a groin injury. The Blaugrana superstar has injured the adductor muscle in both legs, which has raised questions about the amount of minutes the Argentine has played this season. The problem isn't serious, but Leo was advised to rest for three weeks and be fully fit for the remainder of the season.
