Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick will have to tweak his line-up again for the visit of Villarreal to the Spotify Camp Nou. According to Superdeporte, Gavi is set to keep training with the group but will not be in squads until March.
Andreas Christensen remains sidelined and is due back for the final stretch of the season. There will also be a guaranteed absentee for Marcelino's team.
In the closing stages of the first half of the latest match, Gerard Moreno was booked, completing a cycle, so he will serve a suspension next time out. The left-back turned left-sided centre-half brought down Iván Romero, a similar action to an earlier incident involving Eric García. This time referee Alberola Rojas gave the foul and caution.
Flick started that game with a defence of one centre-back and three full-backs, Cancelo on the left and Koundé on the right. The axis featured the mentioned Gerard Moreno alongside Eric García, the latter his most in-form defender this season.
For Barcelona, Jules Koundé and Frenkie De Jong are also one booking away from a ban.
