A quartet of Barcelona stars will be forced to walk the disciplinary tightrope in the club’s upcoming showdown with Chelsea.
This comes owing to their respective yellow card hauls in the Champions League this season.
Barcelona are of course primed to kick their European campaign back into gear on Tuesday evening, when they make the trip to Stamford Bridge.
The Blaugrana head into the matchup eyeing a return to winning ways on the continent, after being held to a disappointing share of the spoils by Club Brugge last time out.
In efforts to contribute towards as much, though, four members of Hansi Flick’s squad will be required to watch their step.
Specifically, all of Lamine Yamal, Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong and Fermín López are just a solitary booking away from a Champions League suspension.
Should any of the quartet pick up another yellow card in west London, they will in turn be ineligible to face Eintracht Frankfurt on December 9th.
