Why Raphinha, Marc Bernal and Frenkie de Jong must be careful during Barcelona’s clash with Osasuna
The trio are one yellow card away from a ban with El Clasico up next.

The duo have been out of action recently due to injury but are set to return in a double boost for the Catalan giants as they aim to secure top spot in La Liga.
It’s unlikely either player will start at El Sadar but they could get minutes. And if they do, both will have to be careful as they are just one booking away from a one-match ban. Barcelona’s next game is against Real Madrid in El Clasico, a match that neither player will want to miss, particularly if the title is still on the line.
The two players are not the other Barca star at risk of suspension for the match against Real Madrid. Frenkie de Jong is also on four yellow cards and will need to be careful on Saturday night.
