Double Warning Threatens Barcelona Against Girona in La Liga
Barcelona is preparing to face Girona on Monday evening as part of the Spanish League competitions, amidst a double warning related to the accumulation of yellow cards, in addition to numerous absences due to injuries.
According to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', Barcelona enters the match with two players threatened with suspension, as both Frenkie de Jong and Gerard Martin have received four yellow cards in the competition so far. If either of them receives a new card against Girona, they will miss the next match against Levante.
De Jong is expected to start the match in the starting lineup, while Gerard Martin's role has diminished in recent matches, likely starting from the bench. At the same time, coach Hans Flick will not be able to rely on several players due to injury, complicating his tactical calculations for the anticipated confrontation.
The newspaper also noted that Kounde has three yellow cards in the league and will also be threatened with suspension if he receives a warning against Girona. So far, Barcelona has not lost any player due to suspension resulting from the accumulation of yellow cards in the league this season, although De Jong was sent off during the competitions.
The match holds special significance for Barcelona, which aims to return to winning ways after its loss in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid, a match that dealt a significant blow to the team before continuing its local journey.
