Nico Gonzalez will miss Barcelona’s next La Liga match at home to Osasuna after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Elche.
The 20-year-old came on as a substitute for Frenkie de Jong after 68 minutes of Sunday’s 2-1 win but was booked within minutes for a foul on Guido Carrillo.
The booking means an automatic one-match ban which will leave Nico out of the game at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
Xavi does obviously have plenty of options in midfield with Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Pedri and Riqui Puig all available.
