Barcelona faces a tough match against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium, carrying a significant concern regarding yellow cards, ahead of the anticipated clash against Real Madrid in El Clásico.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport," three Barcelona players are at risk of being suspended for the El Clasico match if they receive another yellow card. These players are Raphinha, Marc Bernal, and Frenkie de Jong.

The importance of the match is not limited to the sporting aspect alone, as Barcelona could come significantly closer to securing the La Liga title if they win. They currently lead the standings by 11 points over Real Madrid, with the possibility of extending the gap to 14 points if victorious, with four rounds remaining in the season.

Nevertheless, the risk of losing key players before the Clasico places the coaching staff, led by Hans Flick, in a difficult situation. They must balance maintaining the team's strength in the match against Osasuna while avoiding suspensions before the crucial encounter with Real Madrid.

Raphinha's situation is receiving special attention, as he returns to the team roster after a five-week absence due to injury. He is expected to participate in the match, but receiving a yellow card would prevent him from playing in the El Clasico, which would be a significant blow for him after missing the crucial stages of the Champions League.

Mark Bernal is returning to match play after a four-week absence due to an ankle injury, while Frenkie de Jong remains an important element in the midfield, with his gradual participation continuing after returning from injury.
