More problems for the Catalans

Barcelona picked up three costly bookings against Almeria on Sunday which will mean they will be without some key players for next weekend’s clash against Valencia.

Gavi and Raphinha both saw yellow and will have to sit out the visit of Los Che. Xavi will also be absent from the touchline after being booked yet again.

The manager went into the referee’s notebook for protesting on the touchline, Gavi was also booked for some angry protests, while Raphinha took a free-kick too early.

The suspensions come at a bit of a bad time for Barcelona. The Catalans are still without Pedri and Ousmane Dembele because of injury and neither are due back yet.

Ansu Fati is also currently on the injury list but is expected back next time out when Barcelona face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

The suspensions and injuries may be good news for players such as Pablo Torre and Angel Alarcon. The duo came on against Almeria and will be hoping for more minutes now.
