Barcelona have three players at risk of suspension as they have accumulated four yellow cards in La Liga — Sergio Busquets, Franck Kessie, and Ferran Torres.
If any of them is booked against Elche, they will be unavailable for the next league game against Girona. To be clear, they will be able to play against Real Madrid this week since the suspension does not affect cup games.
Xavi could probably afford to rotate Busquets and Kessie tonight since Elche are not the fiercest rival. However, the is no alternative to Ferran as Raphinha is suspended for the game.
At the very least, the coach could ask his 3 players to be more cautious tonight.
