Barcelona trio to miss Getafe trip through suspension

Barcelona lost three players to suspension during Tuesday’s 3-1 La Liga win over Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou.

Eric Garcia, Frenkie de Jong, and Jordi Alba all picked up bookings which incur a one-match ban and will rule them out of Sunday’s trip to Getafe.

The absences will leave Xavi really short of options for the weekend with Barca already without Gerard Pique, Sergino Dest, Sergi Roberto, Pedri, and Nico because of injury.

Ronald Araujo’s fitness will also be of concern after the defender was stretchered off after a nasty clash of heads with Gavi.
