After receiving the news that Rafinha ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee on Sunday, Barcelona have learned about three more injuries on Monday, with Luis Suarez set to face two weeks on the sidelines.
Jasper Cillesen and Arthur are the other players struggling with fitness concerns and the trio will all miss the Camp Nou side's trip to Holland to face PSV Eindhoven this week.
The Uruguayan forward will undergo stem cell treatment on an injury to his right knee and the Dutch goalkeeper has a small muscle tear in his right leg, and will be out of action for two to three weeks after experiencing discomfort in the warmup before the game against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian midfielder has an adductor strain and will only miss the clash with PSV.

Rakitic isnt included in the squad. Coutinho might start on the bench too.

I think barca should go for this in the upcoming match bs PSV. They have already qualified for the knockouts of the UCL, so it is the right time to rest some of the star players like Messi, Pique, Busquets etc. Malcom & Dembele should get a chance at the starting lineup by seeing their recent performances. This might be an important match for Vidal regarding the selections for the future matches.
