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 Clasico.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport,' three Barcelona players are at risk of suspension for the El Clasico 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 side only, as Barcelona could come significantly closer to securing the La Liga title with a victory, especially since they lead the standings by 11 points over Real Madrid, with the possibility of expanding the gap to 14 points with a win, with four rounds remaining in the season.

Despite this, the risk of losing key players before El Clasico puts the coaching staff, led by Hans Flick, in a difficult situation, balancing between maintaining the team's strength against Osasuna and avoiding suspensions before the crucial encounter against Real Madrid.

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

Marc Bernal also returns to match conditions after a four-week absence due to an ankle injury, while Frenkie de Jong is considered a key player in the midfield, with his gradual return to participation after recovering from injury.
