Barça will have to be very attentive in their match against Getafe this weekend due to the 'threat' of losing up to three starters for their next La Liga match, in which they will have to visit the always difficult Athletic
The FC Barcelona will receive this Saturday to the Getafe with the risk to lose until four footballers for his next meeting in LaLiga by accumulation of cards. The culés will bump in front of the Madrilenian team with Robert Lewandowski, Cancel and Araújo in the list of alert 'yellow', those who accumulate four yellow cards up to now, to the equal that Oriol Romeu, the one who had minutes in front of the Naples between week and could return to the XI to try give rest to players like Gündogan or Of Jong.
In front of this, the four footballers, three of them very headlines, are to a card more than being suspended a day. In the same situation finds also Xavi Hernández, adding of equal way four cautions, by what the Committee of Competition would sanction it with a party in the case that some protest of his finish in something more than a warning of the fourth referee of the party.
Xavi, leading of a lot of cautions from 2021
The míster Catalan has been admonished against the Athletic, The Palms, Villarreal and Granada, seeing these four yellow in a period of two months and half. To see the fifth, would lose the third party by sanction of this season, since it was expelled in the first day, against the Getafe, for protesting after being warned and could not seat in the bench against the Cádiz neither the Villarreal.
Parties of high intensity for the Barça
By his part, Lewandowski saw the yellow cards against the Villarreal, Osasuna, Alavés and Villarreal (second turn), Romeu in front of the Mallorca, Athletic, Ray Vallecano and Villarreal. Already regarding the defences, Joao Cancel was admonished in the parties against the Seville, Granada, Athletic and Valencia and Ronald Araújo in front of the Athletic, Girona, Almería and Villarreal.
Any of the three headlines, worse still if they are varied, that are not available to travel to Saint Mamés the next weekend could mean a big problem for Xavi if we take into account that it no longer has margin of error in League, where is to eight points of the Real Madrid in this moment. Lose to his trainer to visit this stage, where fell deleted of the Glass, also would suppose an additional risk to a party that always has a lot of probability of 'prick'.
