Barcelona could be without five key players for midweek clash with Osasuna

With just seven matches to go this season, Barcelona are primed to pick up their first La Liga title in four years. They lead Real Madrid by 11 points, and the task will be to secure the league as soon as possible.

Xavi Hernandez’s side have wobbled in recent weeks, with injuries to key first team players having had a detrimental effect on results. Luckily for Barcelona, their full squad is available for selection against Real Betis on Saturday, barring Sergi Roberto.

However, that may not be the case for the midweek clash with Osasuna, with five players walking a suspension tightrope. Alejandro Balde, Franck Kessie, Ferran Torres and the returning Ousmane Dembele all have four yellow cards, and one more would trigger an automatic one-match ban.

Gavi sits on nine cautions, and a yellow against Betis would see him miss Barcelona’s next match too.

Xavi will be keen to have his full Barcelona squad at his disposal for the remainder of the season, and for that to be the case, certain members must keep their discipline.

  1. Real madrid for life no more team like real madrid in the world up valverde up vinicius up rodrygo

  2. The soo called your vinicius junior was not selected among the first world 20 best players by the F.I.F.A. for 2022/ 23 football season. So pls madrid football club should stop bragging to our ears. Eleven penalties have been awarded to the real madrid club so far in the on going league season and they are quiet but supposedly that go on the side of any other team then we will hear frm the group of real madrid fans shouting against that the refrees are helping those team.I mean the chiriguintos, those madrid people ,who are led by josep pederol , pretending as a neutral present but rather than a well fanatical real madrid fan. I mean somebody, like, Duro, Roncero and co. VISCA BARSA, VISCA BARSA.
    And is barcelona football club for ever.
