Three Barcelona stars at risk of missing El Clasico vs Real Madrid due to suspension | OneFootball

FC Barcelona face off against CA Osasuna tomorrow away at El Sadar, aiming to secure a win and take a step towards clinching the La Liga title.

Leading up to the match, the Blaugrana have received a boost as Raphinha and Marc Bernal have resumed group training and are set to receive the medical green light for the trip to Pamplona.

Suspension risk for both Raphinha and Bernal

However, at the same time, both Raphinha and Bernal head into the contest with the threat of suspension looming over their heads.

Indeed, the Brazilian winger and the La Masia midfielder, along with captain Frenkie de Jong, are all on four yellow cards in La Liga for the season.

So, another booking in tomorrow’s contest against Osasuna would take the tally to five, earning them an automatic one-match suspension.

It would mean that the three stars could stand to miss the all-important El Clasico against Real Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou next weekend – a scenario that all of them will be keen to avoid.

Hansi Flick confirmed that both Raphinha and Bernal will travel with the team. The German coach could give them minutes in the second half, depending on how the match develops.

While they might not get a lot of time on the field, both players will need to be cautious if they want to avoid missing the Clasico against Real Madrid.

De Jong, who could be in line to start his first game since returning from injury, will also be intent on ensuring that he is available for the blockbuster encounter next week.
